Ann Romney on tax returns: ?There?s nothing that we?re hiding?

Mitt Romney's wife is pushing back on public pressure for her husband to release additional years of personal tax filings.

In an interview set to air Thursday on NBC's "Rock Center," Ann Romney reiterated that her husband won't release more financial records, insisting it would just provide more fodder for Democratic attacks.

"There's nothing that we're hiding," Ann Romney told NBC's Natalie Morales.

Asked why her husband isn't more "transparent," Romney seemed to get a bit irritated, leaning forward in her chair to answer questions.

"Have you seen how we are attacked? Have you seen what's happened?" she said. "We have been very transparent to what's legally required of us. But the more we release, the more we get attacked, the more we get questioned, the more we get pushed. And so we have done what's legally required, and there's going to be no more tax releases given."

Asked whether she worries Americans will think her husband is trying to "hide" something by not releasing more returns, Romney pointed to the "huge" financial disclosures her husband had filed when serving as governor of Massachusetts.

"If people want to really look and see, any question they have? Mitt is honest. His integrity is just golden," Romney said. "We pay our taxes? Beyond paying our taxes, we also give 10 percent of our income to charity? The only reason we don't is disclose any more is because we will become a bigger target."

Echoing what her husband has said on the trail for months, Romney told Morales their investments are managed by a blind trust.

"I'll be curious to see what's in there, too," Romney said, smiling.

The full interview is set to air at 10pm ET on NBC.
