President Donald Trump will not release his tax returns, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday.

In an interview on ABC's "This Week," Conway described the issue of Trump releasing his taxes as an attempt to re-litigate the presidential campaign, where the Republican New York real estate mogul bucked longstanding tradition by not making his tax returns public.

"The White House response is that he’s not going to release his tax returns," Conway said.

"We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care," Conway said. "They voted for him, and let me make this very clear: Most Americans...are very focused on what their tax returns will look like while President Trump is in office, not what his look like."

An online petition on the White House website calling for Trump to release his tax returns has surpassed the 100,000 signature goal for a response. And other calls for Trump to make his tax returns public have continued since his election, with critics saying the move would clarify whether he has any foreign conflicts of interest.

Trump's team has pushed back, arguing he's taken the necessary steps to separate himself from his business interests.

"President Trump and his family are complying with all the ethical rules, everything they need to do to step away from his businesses and be a full-time president," Conway said Sunday.
