New York Senate On Verge Of Passing Bill Allowing Release Of Trump Tax Returns

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING The New York state Senate is set to take up a bill on Wednesday that would allow state officials to release President Donald Trump’s state tax returns to Congress, and the lawmaker behind the legislation is confident it has the votes to pass. State Sen. Brad Hoylman’s bill would allow the New York tax commissioner to release any state tax return requested by one of three congressional committees for any “specific and legitimate legislative purpose.” In other words, Congress could finally get Trump’s tax returns. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin denied a request from House Democrats this week to share six years worth of Trump’s federal personal and business tax returns. Andrew Cuomo, a frequent Trump critic, said in April that he would support the state Senate’s efforts to help Congress view Trump’s tax returns.
