New York legislators are making a new push for the release of President Trump's taxes under state law, a move that could offer Democrats an end run around fights in Washington over the President's federal returns

"A spokesman for New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins told CNN Monday that the bill is under consideration."It is something we will be discussing as Conference to decide if and when to move forward on this legislation," said Mike Murphy, the spokesperson for Stewart-Cousins, said.Senate Republican leadership did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Hoylman has a history of pursuing legislation to uncover Trump's financial history.

I hope that happens.

The Dems keep harassing this President. God knows they don't deserve power. They thrive on division and controversy. Everything is about racism and contentious social issues. This President is putting people to work and food on the table. Dems have no message except hate

So the State can override Federal? Good to know. I am sure this will come in handy in the future.

How Trump taxes can do good to American people, God instituted a government for the good of the people and society. Media should be accurate in their information for consumers protection and national defense.

God I hope they get them, he is hiding something. Otherwise, as big a braggart as he is, he would be showing all of us just how rich he is.

Democrats will regret this diwn the road.

Just the fact that the idiot trump is so against them being released tells me he's got something to hide.

Never happen..;

Give it up schmucks

Boooring

realDonaldTrump know if he releases any tax returns or Muller report he is in serious trouble so he is doing all he can to avoid it.

I wonder if the Pelosi's of this world would be so keen to publish their own tax returns. 10 years at least, maybe 20.

Who do they think they are? Weaponizing taxes against people. Today the POTUS, tomorrow against anyone they are against politically. This is a dangerous, totalitarian practice of Govt abuse.

The IRS has been following his business for years. If there was any illegal activity they would have acted on it. The reason Trump is blocking is because he knows it will hurt his image/business, reveal some lies, etc. But nothing illegal or impeachable. swampmaster-in-chief

Wish in one hand and shit in the other.

This will be as fruitful as the Mueller hoax, but whatever gives hope to the useful idiots will be the CNN WAY.

How could state law overcome federal law? This is a super waste of time and all politics

Playing at his own game.

Yeah, no. Will never happen.

Let's see... what ever happened to: AndrewGillum investigation Where's RBG GovernorVA blackface scandal LisaFoxx scandal ZacharyGreenberg arrest and as always... JussieSmollett

Those eyes today...🧐. Not a look of health by any stretch.

Wow. Cnn approves

“This will change everything.” - The delusional 2016, 2017, 2019

Let’s make it happen N.Y. Legislators! The American people are depending on you!

If there was anything wrong with his taxes the IRS would have stepping in but there’s not and this is a witch hunt and it’s irrelevant

Hey Trump you might want to check your ass because NY State is getting ready to release your state Taxes to Congress until the Courts deal with the Law you’re lawyers and you want the IRS Commissioner to ignore. You do realize the ITS Commissioner can be called to Congress.

Since Russian Collusion didn’t work now they’re trying to get tax returns how can any intellectually honest human being say this isn’t a witch hunt now

New York hmmm no it’s not politically motivated at all no way

The witch hunt has taken a pathetic and desperate turn. It's an all out fishing expedition now. Whatever new 'crisis of the week' may be found won't change anything. The haters will still hate, his supporters will become more determined, and most won't care. He'll still be Pres.

And that will be overturned in the courts...... stop this shit and get to work on the nation's problems

Why don’t he himself do the job instead of farming his evil requests to idiots who obey and then get thrown under the bus? I say he can take the job and shove it where the sun never shine

SDNY! Here we go! Good luck POTUS keeping your “never ending audit” tax returns from the multiple agencies that will quickly get them.

💨💨💨💨💨 of 5 farts

When did politicians become IRStax auditors / witch hunters for a president that doesn’t take a salary? FUNNY comingfrom career politicians who become millionaires serving the people? How do they all get wealth? Show us their tax records from day one of serving? realDonaldTrump

All Presidents should release their tax returns. The more he resists the more we know he is a criminal. Oh, wait didn't we already know that?

Can we see all of our politicians tax returns and see why career politicians become millionaires? Plus when did Congress become IRS Tax auditors? Can we pull AOC tax returns to see if she paid the tax penalties for not having affordable Obamacare until this year? Or do we care?

It will never happen.

The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered. Thomas Jefferson

Congressional Republicans are doing an amazing job protecting Trump but there is only so much they can do....

Not going to happen scumbags

Failed with there 'hoax' now moving on!! Walkaway

He made a promise to:show his tax returns ...when was that .. now still not happened what’s he hideing.

Can we get all senators and congresspersons taxes too? What do they have to hide? I’d rather see how politicians became millionaires while in office than a billionaire that took office. taxes releaseallthetaxes

Democrats wants Trump tax return, I would like to see congress their tax return. Especially those who became millionaires after they sit in office.

Nothing more than a personal attack.

We demand to see them

Oh look..another CNN thread where the uneducated think that just because CNN states it, it must be real.

Looks like the Presidency is taking a toll on Trump's biological time clock. He's 12 years aged in just 3.

Zzzzzzz Zzzzz zzzzzzz

Thing is dems, why now? Two plus years after the fact and just now you’re getting to this? Lazy and all talk. Step up your game dems!

What ever it takes! Trump is no different than anyone else in this country, as far as taxes are concerned! If congress wanted my tax info, I’m sure I’d have to give it up or go to jail... Hold that bastard in contempt!

LOL Good luck with that. If anything it really illustrates that absolute disgust & bias the Dems have in their attempt to undermine what they know is an almost certain 2020 election win for Trump. This should serve as a dangerous warning to all Americans.

.....more poop stories from the 'Fake News Corporation'.

Who wants the government, besides the IRS, to see anybody's tax return? I don't

Still wont happen you guys are getting desperate now demswhat happened to that Russian collusion b******* you guys are pushing for three years nothing else to talk about her you guys have no bass you guys are running on nothing and Trump win again in 2020

Why do they do this when they know they will never be able to see them?

New York will bring the downfall of this schmuck! Whether before or after 2020, he's deserves and will go down as the grifter and chief.

End run = to get around legalities.

If you are going to be a career politician, you should release your tax returns. Trump is not a career politician, he is a businessman. Most of the people on the Dems side running for president are career politicians. They should release their tax returns.

Dummies vote Democrat! There is no written law for tax returns. It's a courtesy but not a requirement. This is Democrat bullying

Theyll never get them cnn lol

Nice pivot, CNN. Russia! Russia! Russia! Wait, what? No collusion, you say? Okay, Taxes! Taxes! Taxes!

If there was anything Congress needed to know Congress would have found out during the 2016 campaign. The TDS crowd is in full panic mode because the collusion conspiracy theories proved to be lies.

Well he obviously has nothing to hide. Right?

No more Russia so on to tax returns? FakeNewsCNN

I'm worried that we will now be able to invade peoples privacy at will after this. If a sitting US President can have ANYTHING done to him for politics..when does it end? Do we go after anyone we disagree with now as long as we view them as 'bad'? If it happens to 45..I'm next?

More 'ridiculousness' from the 'left' they' failed' with there 'hoax' that was a 'big' 'ZERO' and the 'left' doing nothing else but fishing, and searching, and wasting 'taxpayers' money on there 'nonsense' WalkAway

Good, they should get his Taxes, with his lying ass. That dog!

And no tax evasion.

I agree they should be released but only after the IRS is through with their audit. Demanding them from the IRS before the audit is complete makes it look like they're on a witch hunt.

Good thing he has no legal obligation to release them

My man
