President Trump has filed for an extension for his 2016 tax return, White House press secretary Sean Spicer confirmed Saturday. No further details were provided on why he needed the six-month extension, but the news is likely to raise questions among critics who want Trump to follow the example of his predecessors and release his tax returns. Despite promising to release his tax information during the presidential campaign, Trump has since refused to do so, saying only that he will release the tax returns after an IRS audit. IRS officials have said an audit does not prohibit taxpayers from releasing tax information.
