ALBANY – Some New York Democrats believe they are in a unique position to force the release of Trump's state taxes because he is from their stat.

A bill introduced Monday by a Democratic state senator would allow New York's Tax Department to release a president's state tax returns if any of three congressional committees asks for them.

"There’s a copy of President Trump’s tax returns right here in New York state, in an office somewhere," Assemblyman David Buchwald, D-White Plains. "And the only thing that prevents that state income-tax from being made public is a state statute that we, the state Legislature, have the power to amend."

Sen. Brad Holyman, D-Manhattan, said the measure would be a way to assist the Democratic-controlled House in its efforts to review the president's state returns, which would have a bevy of information since Trump and his businesses are based in New York.

"Americans deserve to know whether the person who sits in the highest office of the land has conflicts or potential conflicts of interest," Holyman said Monday.

Holyman's bill is latest attempt by Democrats in the state Legislature to try to find a way to compel the president to release his state taxes.

What would the Trump bill do?

The proposal would allow three congressional committees — the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation — to request from the state Department of Taxation and Finance the president's federal tax returns.

The New York bill comes after House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., last week asked the IRS to release six years of Trump’s tax returns by April 10. But the Trump administration has resisted.

White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Sunday called the efforts by Democrats a "political stunt."

He said the issue of Trump's tax returns "was already litigated during the election."

"Voters knew the president could have given his tax returns, they knew that he didn't and they elected him anyway, which is, of course, what drives the Democrats crazy," Mulvaney said on "Fox News Sunday."

State GOP chairman Ed Cox ripped the measures proposed by Democrats in New York.

"“The Democratic legislature and Governor Cuomo are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and playing politics at the expense of doing the people’s business," Cox said in a statement.

"No matter how they dress it up for legal purposes, this unconstitutional bill of attainder is aimed at one individual for the political purpose of re-litigating the 2016 election. The bill would set a dangerous precedent for infringing on the privacy rights of all citizens."

Could the bill pass?

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-Manhattan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told The New York Times that if the New York bill passes, it would be helpful.

“The state return, presumably, has to match the federal return,” he said, adding, “It just makes the work of the federal committee, that has a legitimate reason to look into this, a little easier to see the complete picture.”

Holyman has helped introduced three bills in New York to try to get Trump's state taxes. The latest had yet to get an Assembly sponsor.

One measure, called the NY TRUTH Act, would require all statewide elected officials, including the president and vice president if they file New York income taxes, to release their taxes publicly each year.

Another would keep Trump off the state's 2020 ballot if he doesn't release his taxes, a bill similar to ones being considered in other states, including New Jersey where it passed but was vetoed by then Gov. Chris Christie, a Trump ally.

In California, Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a similar bill in 2017, raising constitutional questions about it and calling it a "slippery slope."

So far in New York, none of the bills have been successful.

Yet there is renewed hope this year because Democrats control the state Legislature; Republicans had held the Senate majority for the past eight years.
