An anonymous donor has promised to give $5 million to a veterans charity of Donald Trump’s choosing if the presumptive Republican presidential nominee releases his tax returns, political operative and Clinton backer David Brock plans to announce Wednesday.'

The Manhattan billionaire has long refused to release his tax returns, arguing that he cannot do so because he is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Trump has said he will release the tax documents after his audit is complete, although the IRS said in February that there is no rule prohibiting the real estate mogul from doing so earlier than that.

A release previewing a conference call with Brock scheduled for Wednesday says the $5 million challenge “represents an opportunity to fill in some of the unknowns about Trump including how much he has made off of potentially fraudulent ventures and how much he’s actually paid in taxes.

"What we do know about Trump’s taxes shows that he’s gone to great lengths to pay as little as possible,” the release continues. “Meaning that he is avoiding paying his fair share and shifting that burden to other taxpayers.”

1. That's not an incentive for drumpf.

He gives not one shit about charity.

2. It's a good way to give him some negative publicity. n/t

3. All democrats...

Need to keep urging Trump to release his returns loud and often enough so whatever absurd thing Trump says does not drown out the news cycle -- which is what he does when something negative about him comes to light. We need to not let him do that!

If we get him to release the returns, he will lose a good amount of voters.

8. Imagine if the Clintons wouldn't

He needs to be pounded about this. And suggestions made about why he is being audited.
