OMAHA, Neb. (Reuters) – U.S. investor Warren Buffett, speaking at a campaign rally for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, challenged Republican Donald Trump on Monday to release his tax returns.
Trump has said he would not release his returns until the Internal Revenue Service has completed an audit.
“Now I’ve got news for him, I’m under audit too and I would be delighted to meet him anyplace, anytime, before the election,” said Buffett, the chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway . “I’ll bring my tax return, he can bring his tax return … and let people ask us questions about the items that are on there.”
Indeed. He wants to raise taxes and increase regulation; after all, he got his, screw everyone else.
Haiti is still waiting for the money from the Clinton Foundation to build that hospital..I think its been what..8 years now..still waiting
Never mind that. Still waiting for her to release her senior thesis about Saul Alinsky.
That’s next, it will be broadcast all over the mainstream media. IRS is just as corrupt as the Department of JustUS!
He really packs em’ in./s The old coot.
Hey Warren Buffoon.....why should you care?.....and why aren’t you asking for her speeches? Must be something big in it for you!
I’d love to learn all about Buffetts investment in Goldman Sachs, a couple days before TARP and Federal Reserve bailouts were announced.
Buffett helped Obama, too..... "complaining" that his secretary paid a higher tax rate than he did. He mysteriously shut up when people pointed out how much his secretary would have to make in order for that to be true.
I always wondered why he did that. When Obama shut down the Keystone pipeline, I had my answer. Buffet/Berkshire owns BNSF: the railroad that ships oil from the Bakken shale to refineries around the country. With a pipeline directly to Texas refineries, he would lose a lot of business.
Buffett's Netjet subsidiary also owed about a half-billion in taxes at the time. He finally prevailed: a US district court judge said the IRS had to honor the guidance they provided back in 1992:

So, yes -- he wouldn't be doing this for Hillary without getting something in return.
The media will just tell the sheep that Saul Alinsky was a good guy and they will say “Well OK then”
Romney b.s.
Trump should call them out on it.
Warren, you are a disgrace to heart of America values.
Get your candidate to release her foundation donor records and foundation tax info.
Challenge buffett to ask hildabeast where the $6 billion went missing from the state dept.
Even better. Ask buffett if he would hire the hildabeast to run bershire hathaway for him
Buffett has had success as an investor, but by multiple accounts he’s a pretty crappy person. He is massive financial supporter of abortion and Planned Parenthood. Despite being heirs to a massive fortune and having all the opportunities in the world, not a single one of Buffett’s three (known) children is a college graduate. Say what you want about Trump, at least his kids aren’t bums.
Must be a Republican Fire Marshall.....yeah, that’s it!
Hey Warren, explain your oppostion to the Canadian oil pipeline
