On Monday, the Treasury Department denied a request from House Democrats for six years of the president’s federal returns, setting up a likely court battle that could reach the Supreme Court. “The news of yesterday makes New York’s role even more crucial,” Mr. Hoylman said. He has described his bill as “assisting Congress in its oversight role.”
