    The measure introduced Wednesday doesn’t mention Trump by name, but it comes after the New York City Republican refused to release his tax returns during his successful run for the presidency last year.

    If the bill passes, the state would be required to release the past five years of state tax returns for Trump. It would also apply to other New Yorkers holding specific offices including the state’s two U.S. Senate seats and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who already voluntarily releases his returns.

    Democratic Sen. Brad Hoylman, of Manhattan, says New York has a unique opportunity to ensure all Americans can learn more about the president’s financial interests.

    There must be something in those Trump tax returns that is embarrassing to Trump such as paying child support for a baby born from one of his affairs.

    This is what my legislators have the time for???

    NY is in such a mess and this is just a diversion of the government not doing their jobs.

    I don’t care what Trump made last year. I care that Hillary lied about Bengazi and Americans were killed. I care that Hillary is a thief and the media does not care. I care that Hillary sold 25% of our uranium to the Russians. I care that her husband raped women and lied about it and she attacked those victoms. I care that the democrat party is now run by antisemites.

    Contrary to the implications of this version, another site states “It would not be retroactive”. To this day “Barack Obama’s student records from Occidental College remain unreleased.” How come there is no movement to force the release of such matters? (Bush’s records were illegally “leaked”.)

    Really, does anyone really care anymore? Trump is the biggest failure as a president the country has ever seen, he’s going down anyway, without this nonsense
