Joe Biden wants to know what President Trump is hiding by refusing to disclose his tax returns.
"Even Nixon released his taxes," Biden said in New Hampshire on Wednesday, referring to former President Richard Nixon who resigned after the Watergate scandal. "Where are his taxes? What's he hiding? What's he afraid of? What's buried in those returns? Why can't he release them?"
Trump, who didn't make his tax returns public during the 2016 campaign, claiming they were under a routine audit, has clashed with House Democrats over the documents.
The Treasury Department's inspector general is investigating the Trump administration's handling of a congressional request for six years of the president's tax returns. In a federal court lawsuit filed by House Democrats, Democrats flagged a whistleblower complaint lodged by a career Internal Revenue Service official over the summer alleging Treasury Department political appointees tried to interfere in the audit process.
