黑利·史蒂文斯抨击阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德未公布其纳税申报单：“你在隐瞒什么？”

密歇根州联邦参议院民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德因声称自己正在等待完成准确填写税务披露表格所需的未完成文件而面临反弹。
埃尔赛义德的声明似乎试图平息其对手、密歇根州民主党众议员黑利·史蒂文斯的指控——后者称埃尔赛义德试图隐瞒自己的净资产，在密歇根州8月4日民主党初选结束前掩盖其财富的真实状况。
“我记得你申请了延期至8月13日，而那已是初选之后，”周三有人问及埃尔赛义德，他获得了纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹、佛蒙特州无党派参议员伯尼·桑德斯以及其他极左翼议员的背书。“这是为了避开向选民透明吗？为什么不在选举前公布？”

“不，”埃尔赛义德回应道。“税务情况变得复杂了。”
“我妻子和她的家人在海外拥有房产，拿到所有相关的税务表格需要时间，”他补充道。
在2025年6月提交的候选人披露报告中，埃尔赛义德申报了多项资产。其中包括：韦恩县的27.89万美元薪资，以及其他各类资产，使其净资产介于58万美元至170万美元之间。
在该披露文件中，他的妻子申报了一处位于印度班加罗尔的出租房产，价值在10.0001万美元至25万美元之间。披露文件还提到，他的妻子从中获得了5001美元至1.5万美元的“收入”。另一处位于密歇根州安阿伯的出租房产价值在25.0001万美元至50万美元之间，带来的收入同样为5001美元至1.5万美元。
对于一些观众而言，考虑到埃尔赛义德2025年的申报文件已经存在，他本周的回应令人困惑。
“这是怪异的回应，”华盛顿自由灯塔报的调查记者查克·罗斯在X平台上发帖称。“他在2025年6月提交的参议院财务披露文件中已经列出了妻子在印度的出租房产。”
“谈到真正的透明度和投资，他说‘我的妻子有海外资产，我的妻子有海外投资’。听着，我们需要知道你对美利坚合众国的忠诚度，”阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特告诉福克斯新闻。“你需要站在那些努力选举你的选民面前，向他们展示你的真实情况。”
“或许现在是时候确保任何竞选参议院席位的民主党人都能在初选前做到百分百透明了，”美国进步中心主席妮拉·坦登在X平台上发帖称。“公布你的纳税申报单是最基本的要求。”
“如果你没什么可隐瞒的，那就直接公布纳税申报单。这些特朗普式的做法形象极差，”另一位观察人士写道。

亲以色列的政治评论员亨·马齐格也抨击了埃尔赛义德的回应。
“没想到连自己财富的规模都不清楚，竟会被当成工人阶级的代表，”马齐格说道，他指的是埃尔赛义德承诺代表密歇根州普通选民对抗企业利益。
埃尔赛义德的此番回应是在周二晚间的密歇根州初选辩论之后作出的，当时史蒂文斯指责埃尔赛义德不够坦诚。
“好吧，听着，透明度至关重要。这就是为什么我已经公布了我的纳税申报单。我的对手阿卜杜勒也是这么说的——他说透明度是关键，但他却没有公布自己的纳税申报单，”史蒂文斯说道。
“听着，我是密歇根州竞选联邦参议院的候选人中唯一不是百万富翁的人，”史蒂文斯说道。
当被问及史蒂文斯的说法是否属实时，埃尔赛义德暗示这个数字有点模糊不清。
“如果把我的资产和我妻子的资产加在一起，我猜大概会达到那个数，”埃尔赛义德在周三的采访中说道。
在另一次接受MS NOW的采访中，埃尔赛义德承诺会在初选前公布他的税务文件。
“我们绝对会公布的。有时候财务情况很复杂。我只能控制我能控制的部分，不幸的是，涉及税务文件时，有时候真的很难拿到，”埃尔赛义德说道。
“我们绝对会在初选前公布的。”

AOC-backed candidate ripped for ‘bizarre response’ to transparency question: ‘Pretty basic’
July 10, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
El-Sayed appears to cite his wife’s India rental property as ‘complicated’ in comment about why tax returns haven’t been released

Haley Stevens unloads on Abdul El-Sayed for not releasing his tax returns: ‘What are you hiding?’
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, is facing backlash after claiming he’s waiting on outstanding paperwork needed to accurately fill out his tax disclosure forms.
El-Sayed’s statement appears to be trying to defuse allegations from his opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Michigan, that he is trying to mask his net worth, hiding the true nature of his wealth until after the Michigan Aug. 4 Democratic primary.
“You’ve sought an extension through August 13, I believe, which is after the primary,” El-Sayed, who is endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and other far-left lawmakers, was asked on Wednesday. “Was this to avoid transparency with your voters? Why not release them before the election?”

“No,” El-Sayed replied. “Taxes get complicated.”
“My wife and her family own property abroad and getting all those tax forms is a thing,” he added.
As a part of his candidate disclosure report filed in June 2025, El-Sayed has reported a number of holdings. Among them: a salary from Wayne County worth $278,900 and an assortment of other assets bringing his net worth to somewhere between $580,000 and $1.7 million.
As a part of that disclosure, his wife reported a rental property in Bangalore, India worth between $100,001 and $250,000. The disclosure went on to say that his wife brought in between $5,001 and $15,000 in “income.” Another rental property in Ann Arbor, Michigan that was worth between $250,001 $500,000 brought in between $5,001 and $15,000.
To some viewers, El-Sayed’s responses this past week are confusing, given the existence of his 2025 filings.
“A bizarre response,” Chuck Ross, a Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter, wrote in a post to X. “He filed a Senate financial disclosure in June 2025 that listed his wife’s rental property in India.”
“When it comes to actual transparency and investment, the fact that he is saying ‘my wife has foreign assets. My wife has investments abroad.’ Look, we need to know you have allegiance to the United States of America,” Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., told Fox News. “You need to come before the people that are working to elect you, and you’ve got to show them what you’re about.”
“Perhaps now would be a good time to ensure that any Dem running for a Senate seat be 1000% transparent well ahead of the primary elections,” Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden posted on X. “Releasing your taxes is pretty basic.”
“If you have nothing to hide, then just release the tax returns. These Trump tactics are an extremely bad look,” another observer wrote.

Hen Mazzig, a pro-Israel political commentator, also bashed El-Sayed’s response.
“Didn’t realize being unaware of the extent of your own wealth was a characteristic of the working class,” Mazzig said, referring to El-Sayed’s promises to represent everyday Michigan voters against corporate interests.
El-Sayed’s responses on Wednesday come after the Michigan primary debate on Tuesday evening, when Stevens accused El-Sayed of a lack of candor.
“Well, look, transparency is oh so important. This is why I have released my tax returns. My opponent, Abdul. He said that transparency is key, but yet he hasn’t released his tax returns,” Stevens said.
“Look, I am the only one running for United States Senate in Michigan who is not a millionaire,” Stevens said.
When asked if Stevens’ assertions were true, El-Sayed hinted that the figure was a little ambiguous.
“If you take my assets and my wife’s assets together, then I guess they add up to something like that,” El-Sayed said in his Wednesday interview.
In another sit-down with MS NOW, El-Sayed pledged to release his tax documents ahead of the primary.

“We absolutely will. Sometimes finances are complicated. I can only control what I can control, and unfortunately, when it comes to tax documents, sometimes they are really complicated to get,” El-Sayed said.
“We are absolutely going to release it before the primary.”
