Sen. Ted Cruz speculated Sunday that Republican presidential rival Donald Trump might be delaying the release of his tax returns because of possible ties with the mob.

When pressed, Cruz cited news reports that have investigated Trump's alleged ties to New York and Philadelphia crime families decades ago. He specifically named S&A Construction, which was controlled by Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno and Paul Castellano, who headed two New York crime families, according to CNN.
