New York Opens Door for Dems to See Trump Taxes

BREAKING: The New York state legislature has passed a bill to allow the state tax commission to provide @realDonaldTrump's state tax returns to three Congressional committees. Returns could have much of the same info as contested federal returns.


ALBANY, N.Y. (CN) – Passing legislation that will allow members of Congress to obtain New York state tax filings, state lawmakers brought Democrats one step closer Wednesday to accessing financial data that the president has kept hidden.

While debate on a second bill is still underway, the legislation that was adopted by the New York Assembly this morning 84-53 authorizes state tax officials to release the returns filed by federal, state and local lawmakers, as well as political party leaders, after being requested to do so by any of three congressional committees: the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation.

The vote was largely along party lines, and debate before both bills passed was marked largely by partisan comments.

White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney has said Democrats will “never” see Trump’s tax returns, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin faced a pummeling at the House just this morning amid new reporting on IRS policy that describes the obligation to disclose tax returns to Congress as “mandatory.”

1. Note

State taxes, thus there is no federal court to appeal to because this is a State tax issue. There is no federal issue and the NY Tax authority will provide these and laugh at any lawsuit Trump tries to file. He has no standing to file in federal court and his attorneys are getting very close to sanctions if they keep bring BS cases on his behalf.
