CNN Panel Devolves Into Shoutfest Over Trump’s Taxes, Medical Records

A fight on CNN devolved into a heated shoutfest tonight over Donald Trump‘s lack of disclosures when it comes to his tax returns and medical records.

While Hillary Clinton has yet to be more transparent about her medical records, so has Trump, and at least Clinton has released her returns so far.

CNN’s chief Trump explainer Jeff Lord said that if he were advising Trump, he would say “don’t release anything ever.”

Corey Lewandowski was also outraged by the tax returns furor and pointed out we learned nothing from Mike Pence‘s. Art of the Deal ghost writer Tony Schwartz said we learned that Pence has nothing to hide, possibly unlike Trump.

Christine Quinn accused Lord and Lewandowksi of holding Trump to a different standard, while Schwartz mocked the “cockamamie doctor” who wrote an “illiterate statement” on Trump’s health.

Lewandowski was personally offended by this and got into a shouting match with Schwartz in which he talked up how high-energy and healthy Trump is.

He mocked Schwartz and Quinn for being “experts in the medical field.” Schwartz hit back, “No, we’re experts at reading, unlike Donald Trump.”
