“Mr. Tillerson told me in our meeting that he is willing to make his tax information public,” Udall said, as quoted by KRWG news in New Mexico on Thursday.
Udall, who champions environmental causes and is a critic of the oil industry, complimented Tillerson on divesting himself of his financial interests in Exxon Mobil after being nominated as secretary of state but insisted that the tax information still had to be made public.

Trump’s Republican Party holds a majority in the US Senate and controls the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
