Trump: "If I decide to run for office, I'll produce my tax returns, absolutely," he said. "And I would love to do that." No "may" or "might."
FEBRUARY 25, 2015:
Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he would "certainly show tax returns if it was necessary." 40 years of full disclosure and blind trust by both parties is a fine precedent for necessary.

Trump revisits the audit argument on Twitter.
"Tax experts throughout the media agree that no sane person would give their tax returns during an audit," he said. "After the audit, no problem!"
And lies again
MAY 11, 2016:
Trump tells the Associated Press that his taxes are under "routine audit" and he will release them when the audit is done.
"I would release my tax returns when audit is complete, not after e******n!" he tweeted about the interview.
SEPTEMBER 27, 2016:
Trump says during the first p**********l debate that his taxes will be released once an audit is finished.
"I don't mind releasing. I'm under a routine audit, and it will be released. As soon as the audit's finished, it will be released," he said. Stalling...but the audit was complete.
KelleyAnne Conway supports the lie: JANUARY 23, 2017:
Conway clarifies her comments with a tweet: "On taxes, answers (& repeated questions) are same from campaign: POTUS is under audit and will not release until that is completed."
Spicer backs the lie: APRIL 17, 2017:
Spicer, the White House press secretary, says Trump's tax returns are still under audit.
"It's the same thing that was discussed during the campaign trail, the president is under audit. It's a routine one that continues," he said.
Asked in a later exchange if we can assume Trump will never release his returns, Spicer said he would "get back to you on that."
