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.”

"Has she offered him some sweet deals?"

Buffett owns the BNSF railroad which has made huge money getting North Dakota Bakken oil to refineries on the coasts.

Obama and cankles (via the State Dept.) have for years conveniently stepped on the XL pipeline that would offer competition to BNSF.

And that's just one example of the cronyism going on among the aforementioned vermin. There are probably many more.

The Anus of Omaha has benefited greatly from the rigged financial system.

He’s long used his insurance companies to avoid taxes.

I respect a lot about Buffet’s investment strategy.... but his politics are pretty bad.

Dear Warren, I don’t wanna see your taxes. I don’t wanna see Donald’s taxes. I wanna see WashingtonDC cleaned up and Corruptess Hilliary in prison.

any more questions?

Is Buffett’s personal return different from his corporation’s return?

His may show little or no income.

He might be cared for by the corporation, as a business expense.

???

Thanks for posting that Pic.

We can’t get complacent by telling each other Hillary doesn’t have a following.

Posting early crowd shots is disingenuous coming from both sides. Looks like Hillary had a cooperative Fire Marshal.

Buffett companies displace IT workers with foreign workers. I suspect he wants that to continue.

Trumps standard answer should be.....when Clinton releases the Clinton Foundation tax records I’ll release mine. Game on.
