Hillary Clinton went on a Twitter tirade Wednesday against Donald Trump, asking the billionaire 20 questions about reported conflicts of interest that he may have if elected.

The Democratic presidential nominee was referencing a Newsweekcover story arguing that the Trump Organization’s international business relationships could make it hard for a President Trump to conduct foreign policy.

In a post on her website, Clinton said that Trump’s career was “full of sketchy relationships with foreign countries.”

The posts comes amid a debate over Trump’s tax returns, which he has declined to make public, citing a pending IRS audit as prohibiting him from releasing his taxes.

In her tweets, Clinton questioned what Trump would make a priority—America or his personal investments.

1. Will you sever ties with your company linked to foreign leaders, questionable organizations, and criminals if you become president?

3. While refusing to release your tax returns, how will you confirm that you do not have dangerous financial ties to bad actors abroad?

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016

5. How can you be tough on Iran, given your business partnership with someone connected to Iranian money laundering? pic.twitter.com/1AdDm2kfvy

7. To what extent would your foreign policy be dictated by potential financial benefits for your business partners? pic.twitter.com/4Nd9KSdTfi

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016

9. Have you or your campaign discussed U.S.-Russian relations with the Russian billionaires with whom you've done business?

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016

11. With business ties to politically-connected Indian developers, how can you conduct foreign policy that puts the U.S. above your profits?

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016

13. How can we know you won't (again) impulsively damage relationships with crucial allies to preserve your own ego? https://t.co/j1VtaFhA6C

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016

15. To what extent are you and your family currently contractually tied to payments from foreign business partners, or governments?

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016

17. Will your children disclose all of the foreign trips and business deals they've undertaken during the campaign, and with whom they met?

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016

19. In sum, how will Trump guarantee that if forced to choose between America's security and his own bank account, he won't pick the latter?

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 14, 2016

20. It's pretty clear: Trump's spent his life unscrupulously looking out for his own wallet above all. Why would that change as president?
