’s income took a huge hit as she ran for president last year, dropping to less than half of what she made the year before, according to tax returns her presidential campaign released Friday.
Mrs. Clinton hoped the release would embarrass GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has refused to release any of his, while also shining a light on the high rate she and her husband paid in their own taxes.
The power couple reported earning $10.7 million in income in 2015, and claimed a tax liability of $3.6 million.
It’s a major drop in income from the more than $28 million they earned in 2014 and $27 million in 2013 -- the two years after Mrs. Clinton left the State Department, but before she was running for president.
The Clintons’ federal taxes in 2015 amounted to 34.2 percent of their income, and their combined federal, state and local taxes were 43.2 percent. They donated 9.8 percent of their adjusted gross income to charity -- though almost all of that was to their own charity, the Clinton Family Foundation, run by close personal friends.
