Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump has long resisted releasing his tax returns in a break with historic precedent, but even one of his closest allies in the Senate thinks he should.
Asked if Trump should release his tax returns, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina told CNN on Thursday, "Yeah, I think everybody should. I've said that for a long time." Graham has sought to make financial disclosure an issue in his reelection by releasing 11 years of state and federal tax returns for press review and demanding that his Democratic opponent, Jaime Harrison, do the same. "What is he hiding?" Graham tweeted last Saturday.
Harrison has since released the details of several years of past tax returns. South Carolina newspaper The State reported earlier this week that after asking both campaigns for candidate tax returns, Harrison's campaign let the newspaper review his returns from 2012 through 2018. In response to a call from Graham for him to release tax returns, Harrison tweeted on Tuesday, "Done. Now do President Trump."
A recent poll from Quinnipiac University showed the two candidates tied with 48% of likely voters supporting Graham and 48% backing Harrison. That follows an August Quinnipiac poll that had the two candidates tied, with 44% each among registered voters. Harrison, a former state party chairman, has been outraising Graham, bringing in about $14 million in the second quarter compared to Graham's $8.4 million.

Releasing them to someone like Fredo Cuomo or Bull Dyke Madow would have the obvious effect.
The fact is that the President has obviously been audited every single year since 1970...and he's never been in prison.
That says all we need to know.
OK. Let’s release McCain’s first and see how that goes before deciding.
He doesn't do anything, just talks the right line and mugs for the camera. I believe he learned this schtick from John McCain.
Linda should release his Grindr profile.
Did Biden/Harris release theirs ?
I think lynnzie is retarded. I think he must have manure for brains to suggest such a thing. Does he not understand anything about the ongoing civil war?
The IRS has his tax returns and gets audited every year. There is no need to have busybody bureaucrat lawyers and fast-talking commentators speculating about what each line of his returns might mean. Seriously, doesn’t this little bedwetting thumb-sucking sissy understand the times?
Grahamnesty didn’t vote for Trump in 2016.
Graham should release his membership records to “The Rentboy Frequent Flyer” program.
Or a “nonce”.
At least Romney is open about his Trump disdain. Trump’s snake poem applies to Graham. Wonder why he always shows up on Hannity’s show? You are know by the company you keep.
You can’t fix stupid.
M Kehoe thinks Lindsey should come out of the closet.

Starting with Graham ... then Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff ...
LindseyRemember that linda is up for reelection in November
Don’t think the President needs your woeful advice, Mr. Grahamn. He is doing far better than you are.
That is NOT a door anyone in politics really wants opened......
I’m having serious doubts about voting for linda. But I absolutely can’t vote for a rat. Maybe I’ll just leave this race blank when I vote IN PERSON.
Since they’ve been tied since August, I don’t think leaving this race blank is a vote for either one.
I have no use for Hannidity.
To answer your question. Birds of a feather always flock together.
