The Democratic National Committee continues to keep pressure on Mitt Romney to disclose his overseas holdings, this time in a globe-spanning web video with narrators speaking in German and French.

The video, entitled “Mitt Romney’s $ecret $tash,” begins in English with a narrator asking, “Why won’t Mitt Romney disclose more information about his international dealings?”

From there, a camera pans, Google Earth-style, to Switzerland and a German voice announces, “Mr. Romney had a Swiss bank account worth 2.9 million Swiss francs or 3 million U.S. dollars.”
