Clinton releases 2015 tax return, calls on Trump to release his

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Friday released her 2015 personal tax return charging that her opponent, Republican Donald Trump, “defies decades-old tradition of disclosure.”

In addition, the Clinton campaign released 10 years of returns from her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, and his wife, Anne Holton.

Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, paid an effective federal income tax rate of 34.2 percent in 2015, according to the campaign. They paid an effective state and local income tax rate of 9 percent, meaning their combined effective rate was more than 40 percent.

In addition, the Clintons donated 9.8 percent of their adjusted gross income to charity, the campaign reported.

Friday’s release adds to a prior disclosure tax returns spanning the years 1992 to 2014, released during the years when Bill Clinton was president and when Hillary Clinton ran for president the first time, in 2008.

Clinton’s campaign also released a list of speeches that she delivered in 2013, which showed that she gave 41 addresses for fees ranging from $225,000 to $400,000. All told, she earned roughly $9.7 million that year in speaking fees, according to the campaign.
