As the battle over President Trump’s federal taxes intensifies in Washington, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York signed a bill on Monday to allow congressional committees to access the president’s state tax returns. The bill requires state tax officials to release the president’s state returns for any “specified and legitimate legislative purpose” on the request of the chair of one of three congressional committees: the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation.

But the admin. can go to fed court and get an injunction; no way the demwits can defy it. The Supremes then deep-six it.
That law is invalid, and therefore not binding.
IDEA: If the House seeing a single senior politician’s tax return fulfills a legitimate legislative purpose, I think it would be just as legitimate for the Senate to get the tax returns of ALL OF THE OTHER POLITICIANS from the same State as a basis of comparison.
So the Senate taxation committee should pro-actively request the tax returns of ALL New York politicians.
But there have been several amendments made to the New York bill to address potential legal concerns, according to the bill’s supporters, including broadening its focus to cover an array of public officials, federal executive branch employees and political party leaders.
Assemblyman David Buchwald, who sponsored the bill in Albany’s lower chamber, called the governor’s actions “a momentous step,” a sentiment echoed by his Senate counterpart, Brad Hoylman, a Democrat from Manhattan. “Our legislation isn’t about one person,” Mr. Hoylman said. “It’s about assisting Congress in its oversight abilities.”
Right but I guarantee they’ve already delivered the tax returns as soon as that bill was signed.
Writing a law to specifically go after one single person? I think there’s a law about that.
The prevailing theory here seems to be that the Fraud’s weaponized IRS long ago delivered Trump’s tax returns to our domestic enemies, who need legitimization for Big Media to show US the nothingburger.
I.e, if there’d been a there there, we would have heard about it long ago.
I think Trump ought to move his Trump businesses out of these hostile states.
I remember whenever the Fraud took action against America, “Speaker” John OrangeMan Boehner would immediately toss back a few and take “impeachment off the table”.
Makes sense. Cuomo is letting everyone know he is implicated in the Epstein child sex case.
Oh, ok, then I want to see the Clintons tax tpreturns, Cuomos returns, Bloomberg’s. If the can see Trumps then by law we can see theirs.
Doesn’t matter if it’s a bill of attainder or not. New York will release the tax returns before any suit can be filed. Once released, they are free to leak them.
The way to shut this down is to have Florida to persue charges against Dems inside of that circle.
I’d like to believe that the DNC never got ahold of them and people still believe in the rule of law in certain areas - but you’re probably right.
So true. This government of both political parties from federal to local have done absolutely nothing but try to destroy and impede,President Trump while continuing Obama’s agenda.
Trump should release Cuomo’s tax returns as a return favor ,LOL
We're talking Cuomo here.
I suspect that he thinks he and his family are above the law.
Andrew M. Cuomo stole $600 million from HUD. He gave it to those that could get him the governorship. Think mob money spread around.
