MSNBC host Rachel Maddow teased her Tuesday night program in a series of tweets promising a bombshell revelation of President Donald Trump’s tax returns.
The first social-media post alluded to Maddow’s possession of the documents.
BREAKING: We’ve got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9pm ET. MSNBC.
(Seriously).

She then offered some specifics regarding what she planned to discuss on air.
What we’ve got is from 2005… the President’s 1040 form… details to come tonight 9PM ET, MSNBC.

Shortly after Maddow’s announcement, the White House released a statement calling her “desperate” for ratings.

Trump’s tax information has been a consistent topic of criticism from political opponents who have urged him to release past returns.
As a candidate, he repeatedly refused such requests, saying his returns were under audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
Days after Trump’s inauguration, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway reiterated the president’s decision not to release his taxes — at least until after the audit has been completed.
“People don’t care,” she said at the time of Trump’s financial statements.
Based on the reaction to Maddow’s tweets, there is palpable interest in Trump’s among some viewers.

The host’s colleague, Lawrence O’Donnell, posted a tweet offering his excitement for the promised release.
Yes seriously! I will be watching, then Rachel will join @TheLastWord at 10pm. This is the night we’ve been waiting for. https://t.co/NWjPDzxSqv

Daily Beast columnist David Cay Johnston tweeted that he will join Maddow and O’Donnell on their respective programs as he provides more details to the developing story.
