When Hallie Jackson, an NBC News correspondent, asked the president-elect if he would finally release his tax returns,
to verify his claim that he has no financial dealings in Russia, Mr. Trump scoffed.

“You know, the only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters, O.K.?”
the president-elect said.
“They’re the only ones who ask.”

“You don’t think the American public is concerned about it?” Ms. Jackson asked.

“I don’t think so,”
Mr. Trump replied, before laying down the political equivalent of a mike-drop:

“I won.”
