Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "put up," as the analogy goes, releasing a statement tonight claiming that the source that told him presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney hadn't paid taxes for 10 years was "extremely credible."
Reid's statement came a few hours after Romney appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show and told Reid to "put up or shut up" about his tax returns. He called Reid's claim "untrue, dishonest, and inaccurate."

Here's Reid's full statement in response:
“There is a controversy because the Republican presidential nominee, Governor Mitt Romney, refuses to release his tax returns. As I said before, I was told by an extremely credible source that Romney has not paid taxes for ten years.
People who make as much money as Mitt Romney have many tricks at their
disposal to avoid paying taxes. We already know that Romney has
exploited many of these loopholes, stashing his money in secret,
overseas accounts in places like Switzerland and the Cayman Islands.
“Last weekend, Governor Romney
promised that he would check his tax returns and let the American people
know whether he ever paid a rate lower than 13.9 percent. One day
later, his campaign raced to say he had no intention of putting out
any further information.
