Unic Press UK: MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said on twitter that the tax returns of the U.S. president, Donald Trump, was no longer a secret. However, it appears that what had been leaked/released to a section of the media was only the 2005 returns.

In 2016, in the course of his presidential campaign, Trump was repeatedly questioned about his tax returns. His response was that he will not disclose it prior to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concluding its audit, or prior to receiving the go ahead from his legal advisers.
The White House reacted to the unofficial public disclosure of some of Trump’s tax returns:
