President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is pushing back against Democrats’ calls for all Cabinet nominees to release their tax returns. In a memo for supporters obtained by The Associated Press, transition officials say the calls are “a PR stunt.” Senate Democrats yesterday said they will push for all committees to require Cabinet and other high-level nominees to provide their tax returns ahead of their confirmation hearings. Trump has so far refused to release his own tax returns, breaking from recent precedent.
