Did 45 release his own tax form? [View all]

Here is a good read about why it might have been 45 that released his tax form :

Another interesting theory surfaces about why the 2005 return would be a favorable year to leak:

Donald Trump married Melania Knaus in 2005. She had been a permanent resident since 2001. She became a US citizen in 2006. Part of the US naturalization checklist the last 5 years tax returns OR the last 3 years tax returns if married to a US citizen, which would be in Melania's case:


2003 single filing...
2004 single filing...
2005 joint filing with DJT


Melania's citizenship depended on a squeaky clean join tax filing in 2005. This is why Trump, yesterday, leaked his own (partial) 2005 1040 form. It was the only year he was forced to play by the rules.
