An adviser to Democratic presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg's campaign said Tuesday that the former mayor would release his tax returns and sell his company, Bloomberg LP, if elected president.
"Mike will release his tax returns," adviser Timothy O'Brien told CNN's Christiane Amanpour.
"Mike will also sell Bloomberg LP. There will be no confusion about any of his financial holdings, blurring the line between public service and personal profiteering," he said.
The adviser sought to draw a contrast between Bloomberg and President Trump, who has faced intense scrutiny for not releasing his tax returns and for maintaining ownership of his business empire after entering office.
