On May 24, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) introduced the “Presidential Tax Transparency Act”. It requires the U.S. Treasury to release copies of the tax returns of presidential candidates to the Federal Election Commission. Then, the FEC would release them to the public. See this story.
The bill would only apply to the presidential nominees of a party that polled at least 25% of the popular vote in the last presidential election.
It is a little third world for legislators to introduce laws in the middle of an election to try to harm an opposition candidate.
The DNC did it to Lawrence Lessig last fall; see, e.g.:

Just think… IF Hitler had been forced to release his taxes then, well, maybe, perhaps rainbows and unicorns and all sorts of good stuff… well, you know.
How about having the tax returns of all incumbent robot party HACKS in the gerrymander Congress be seen by the entire world ???
How many seconds until Civil WAR II starts ???

Those third world political systems generally have KILLER TYRANT monarchy/oligarchy gangsters in control.
