Republicans in New York have ridiculed the move as an attempt to embarrass the president.

State senators signed off on legislation that would allow New York to release President Trump's state tax returns to one of three congressional committees, if asked: the House Ways and Means Committee; the Senate Finance Committee or the Joint Committee on Taxation.

“One period of taxes that has been leaked shows many inconsistencies," said Brad Hoylman, the Democratic state senator who is spearheading the legislation. “A lot of Americans want to know what else there is.” “The New York state tax returns likely contain information that is similar to what is in the federal returns,” said Harry Sandick, former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, noting his business losses and income likely would be similar at the federal and state levels.

Under the legislation, the state tax returns can only be released if requested by any of three committees: The House Ways and Means Committee; the Senate Finance Committee; or the Joint Committee on Taxation. It likely would not contain any information about IRS audits into Trump’s tax returns, a key part of Neal’s request, as those would not be filed in the state returns.

Hoylman, the state senator, said he had consulted extensively with counsel about his legislation and was confident of its legality.

I find it amazing that New York State law is so disgustingly liberal they allow the murder of babies before or after birth (Exodus 21:21-25). Their laws, however, prevent women from being a surrogate! Unbelievable prejudice! They must hate babies!

When you guys get around to probing domestic networks might I suggest you start at the ' Whitehouse '.

Tax returns -“embarrassing”? Do they include pictures of him naked?

Trump has embarrassed the country as it is and I don't see any Republican showing any care about it, which means they view Trump as being more important than the country.

GOP: You MUST allow anyone who wants to to interfere in the election! If you don't, you're trying to EMBARRASS me! LOL

New York to vote on bill allowing Congress to request Trump’s state tax recordsRepublicans in New York have ridiculed the move as an attempt to embarrass the president. They will lose again. They still have to go through IRS and it’s the same man. Their only option is to go through courts. The courts will rule against them. It’s political witch-hunt plastered all over the news. This would mean we can get anyone’s taxes through congress that lives or works in NY State. Common sense: laws are passed for everyone. No one is above the law. NY city can not pass a law targeting a single citizen. The fact that they are passing a law targeting Trump is very unconstitutional.

Republicans could have a Green New Deal problemPolling suggests that the GOP risks turning off younger voters en masse by portraying the climate change plan as a socialist fantasy. I don’t think republicans have ever cared about long term damage. Republicans have a lot of problems. They have zero policies that speak to the needs of the people that voted for them and too many policies that service the donors who paid for them. I'm okay for anything that could damage the Republican party full stop.
