Trump says he won't work with Democrats until they stop investigating him – live

And as Democrats in congress continue their siege of the Trump administration, early this afternoon New York state lawmakers gave final passage to legislation that would allow Donald Trump’s state tax returns to be released to congressional committees, the Associated Press writes. Such committees, as we know only too well, have so far been barred from obtaining the president’s federal tax filings. The Democrat-led New York senate and assembly, which make up both houses of the state legislature in the capital, Albany, a couple of hours up the Hudson River from New York City, both approved the measures on Wednesday. Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat whom many had been expecting to run for president but so far has been upstaged in this endeavor by his city frenemy, New York mayor Bill De Blasio, will now need to sign the legislation to make it law.

“...they will have to draw up a bill of particulars and in so doing reveal their mendacity. ....”

You mean “orange man bad!” is not a bill of particulars?

Some of our governing bodies are now passing Bills of Attainder?

Time for the hangings to begin.

My suggestion as a Floridian is that Trump should make his future tax domicile in Florida.

If I were Trump, I would defend the copyrights to all income tax returns. I’m sure they are works of financial artistry.

I would like nothing better than to see the New York State political establishment imprisoned for copyright infringement.

I would also challenge the New York State law as being ex post facto.

I would imagine Trump has made a comfortable income, but ensured that his children get the lion’s share of income from Trump family business activity to ensure future lower estate taxation of his estate.

What, in the name of God, is President Trump supposed to be covering up.

I assume it's the Demonrat claim that he instructed his lawyer to fire Mueller. I didn't know that one of the president's lawyers could fire anyone, let alone the Special Counsel.

These people are zealots who have nothing left but to bring down Trump. Trump just needs to ignore them and wait till 2020.

If the democrats are choosing to keep investigating the President in a never ending fashion, then the President should be able to direct FBI, CIA, etc. to target democrat congressmen or presidential candidates who need investigating.

No. This bill allows for Congress to request returns for anyone who filed state taxes. Sure, it's aimed at Trump, but it is more than a two-edged sword, as this opens up all sorts of politicians and wealthy people to releases that I'm sure they don't want. Clintons, Blasio, etc etc. I'm really surprised the elites have let them get this fr with this.
