New York Lawmakers Approve Bill Granting Congress Access to Trump Tax Records

HeadlineMay 23, 2019

Meanwhile, New York lawmakers approved a bill Wednesday that would give Congress access to President Trump’s state tax returns. New York Assemblymember Barbara Lifton said her constituents are demanding the legislation.

Assemblymember Barbara Lifton: “They are deeply concerned, as am I, that our democracy is being undermined on a daily basis by the current administration, and the power of Congress to provide proper and constitutional oversight of the executive branch is being abrogated to an unprecedented degree.”
