Eric Trump says it will be foolish for his dad to release TAX RETURNS #HNNPolitics

Eric Trump on Wednesday dismissed arguments that his father, Donald Trump, should release his tax returns, saying doing so would be "foolish."

"You would have a bunch of people who know nothing about taxes trying to look through and trying to come up with assumptions on things they know nothing about," Eric Trump said Wednesday on CNBC.

"It would be foolish to do. I'm actually the biggest proponent of not doing it."

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has faced criticism for refusing to release his tax returns.

He has repeatedly pushed back against calls to release the documents, saying he is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The IRS has said nothing prevents Trump from releasing his tax returns. Hillary has already released hers.
