Protesters across the US call on Trump to release his taxes
Washington
SOME wore shirts with an image of President Donald Trump as the Monopoly mascot hauling a bag of money. Others taunted the president with signs that said they would show him their taxes, if he showed them his. And in front of a few thousand people on the lawn of the US Capitol there was an oversized inflatable chicken with hair resembling Trump's, suggesting the president is "too chicken" to release his taxes to the public.
From Seattle to the District of Columbia, protesters gathered in cities throughout the country on Saturday calling on Mr Trump to release his personal tax returns as part of a nationwide Tax March. The protest falls on the country's traditionally recognised deadline to file taxes, April 15.
