Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) said early Monday that it would be a good idea for President Donald Trump to release his tax returns.

"I think it would be a good move," he said when asked on CNN's "New Day" if he thinks the president should release his taxes.

Hurd said he isn't sure whether the president plans to release the documents in the future.

"But I think that would solve a lot of problems," he said.

Hurd also talked about the importance of transparency.

"I do believe in transparency," he said, "and that always wins the day."

Kellyanne Conway, Trump's top aide, on Sunday said the president would not release his tax returns.

"We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care," Conway said on ABC's "This Week."

A White House petition calling for the president to release his tax returns has received more than 100,000 signatures, the number it needs to warrant a response from the administration.
