New York Democrats Attempt to Force Release of Donald Trump’s Tax Returns

Democrat lawmakers in New York are set to file a bill that would force the release of President Donald Trump’s tax returns.

The bill would allow the commissioner of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance to release any state tax returns filed by the president if requested by any congressional committee, the Hill reported.

Bill sponsor Democrat State Sen. Brad Hoylman maintains that the returns may be released for a “specific and legitimate legislative purpose.”

Hoylman adds that the bill is an attempt to get ahead of any White House effort to block Congress from having access to the president’s tax returns.

Empire State laws currently prohibit the release of any individual’s tax returns, but the new bill would amend the laws as a weapon to go after Trump.

To assuage legislators who fear such a law would violate the state’s responsibility to protect its citizens’ privacy, Hoylman attempted to narrow the bill by adding that tax returns will not be released unless Congress requests them.

Despite the Democrat-controlled New York legislature’s partisan effort to destroy the president, White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney insisted that Democrats would “never” see the president’s tax returns.
