Andrew M. Cuomo (D) is expected to sign legislation that would allow congressional committees to access portions of President Trump's tax returns. (Seth Wenig/AP)New York state’s legislature on Wednesday approved a bill to allow the state to give Congress President Trump’s state tax returns, which could allow U.S. House members to review portions of the president’s financial records. New York’s legislation would allow the state to turn over Trump’s state returns to congressional committees. New York’s legislation was amended earlier this month to ensure that federal tax return information is redacted when released to Congress. Legal experts had raised concerns that inadvertently disclosing federal tax information, even to the congressional committees, could force New York officials to violate federal law.
