Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush plans to release 33 years of tax returns on Tuesday, a scope his aides say is unprecedented for any White House contender.

Bush's plan to release the tax information, shared by spokeswoman Allie Brandenburger, is an attempt to suggest the former Florida governor's commitment to transparency, similar to his move earlier this year to publish e-mails from his time in state office. But like the e-mails, many of the tax returns Bush plans to make public have already been released. Bush released 10 years of tax returns during his unsuccessful governor's race in 1994, and was required to release financial information when he ran in 1998 and each of the next eight years when he was in office.
