Two New Yorkers may have figured out a way to achieve a goal Democrats have had their eyes on for nearly four years: getting a glimpse at President Trump’s taxes
is across the street from Trump Tower may have figured out a way to achieve a goal Democrats have had their eyes on for nearly four years: getting a glimpse at President Donald Trump’s taxes.
New York's move could checkmate the Trump administration's latest effort to keep the president's federal returns private. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin last week said the administration wouldn't comply with a subpoena for the returns issued by a leading U.S. House Democrat and the dispute appears headed for court, where it could take months to resolve.
Both Hoylman and Buchwald have spent years attempting to find a state-level solution to obtaining Trump’s taxes. Hoylman began the fight a month after the 2016 election, when he introduced the Tax Returns Uniformly Made Public, or T.R.U.M.P. Act. It would prohibit presidential candidates from appearing on the ballot in New York if they haven't made their returns public.
In 2017, he came across articles from Hemel arguing that the tax returns submitted to New York were worth seeking. “We have strived to ensure that New York state is on firm legal footing,” Buchwald said. “And I recognize that the president’s very fond of litigation, but ultimately New York is in charge of New York state tax returns.”Jerry Nadler
