New York Senate OKs releasing Trump state tax return

New York's Senate has approved legislation that would allow congressional investigators to get access to President Donald Trump's state tax returns, giving Democrats a potential end-run around the administration's refusal to disclose his federal returns. The bill, which now goes to the state Assembly, doesn't target Trump by name but would authorize state tax officials to release returns filed by anyone in New York if requested by the leaders of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee or the Joint Committee on Taxation.
