UPDATE (8:33 p.m.): The Associated Press is reporting that Maddow has one of President Donald Trump's income tax return from 2005.

UPDATE (8:35 p.m.): The White House has responded that Trump paid $38 million in taxes on his income of $150 million, which was what was legally required of him.

UPDATE (8:43 p.m.): This is beginning to feel like a nothing-burger.

Maddow says she has Trump's 1040 form from 2005.

UPDATE (9:18 p.m.): Maddow is apparently taking too long, so the Daily Beast went ahead and published.

Here you go: Rachel @Maddow just got scooped because she wasn’t willing to get over her schtick and lead with the scoop she had. https://t.co/0pcp0m2Aeq— Dylan Byers (@DylanByers) March 15, 2017

---Original Post---

Well, this sure is interesting: MSNBC host Rachel Maddow claims to have a copy of "Trump's" tax returns. She tweeted that she'll be unveiling them on her show at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday night. 

Maddow did not specify which Trump nor which year the returns were for.

BREAKING: We've got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9pm ET. MSNBC.

(Seriously).— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) March 14, 2017

It's unclear as to why someone would release the returns now. The election is over. Trump won. This can't possibly change anything.

Stay...tuned?

This post will be updated.

Watched the segment. Pure speculation. NO “there”...there. Total joke for ratings. What a farce.

I don’t assume it’s a crime. I assume it’s NOT a crime, but not for the reasons you’ve given. I’m assuming they got the information from a source that had it legally.

First Amendment does not cover broadcasting social security numbers.

States have laws on the books protecting individuals.

This should not end well for MadCow. Koskinen should immediately begin an investigation into how this return was illegally obtained and divulged.Wait, Koskinen? Never mind....

I haven't watched that channel in almost 20 years.

I am watching Hannity and he was showing a clip from NBC. Someone was saying they want to use it to get President Trump impeached.

She was breathless, alright. Then everything went ‘flaccid’. Absent Viagra and someone turned on the light switch. Hilarious!

These idiots think that is ground for impeachment. They would be laughed out of court

It doesn't matter if MSNBC's source got the returns legally or illegally. In fact, it is quite possible that MSNBC doesn't know how its source acquired the returns. But as long as MSNBC didn't solicit someone to break the law to acquire the returns, MSNBC is in the clear.

You may want to review Bartnicki v Vopper

What law would prevent MSNBC from disclosing SSNs for non-fraudulent purposes?
