WASHINGTON -- Some investments listed in Mitt and Ann Romney's 2010 tax returns -- including a now-closed Swiss bank account and other funds located overseas -- were not explicitly disclosed in the personal financial statement the Republican presidential hopeful filed in August as part of his White House bid.

The Romney campaign described the discrepancies as "trivial" but acknowledged Thursday afternoon that it is reviewing how the investments were reported and will make "some minor technical amendments" to Romney's financial disclosure that will not alter the overall picture.
