Trump Defends $1.1 Billion In Losses As For "Tax Purposes."

The New York state Senate on Wednesday passed a bill that would make it easier for Congress to obtain President Donald Trump's state tax returns, advancing a bill that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said he will sign if it reaches his desk.

The bill, called the TRUST Act, passed by an 39 to 21 vote. The bill would amend state law to permit the state Department of Taxation and Finance commissioner to release any state tax return requested by the leaders of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee or the Joint Committee on Taxation for any "specific and legitimate legislative purpose." Existing laws generally prohibit such a release.

Those congressional committees would have to file a request with the state only after efforts to gain access to federal tax filings through the Treasury Department failed.

The bill would only apply to Trump's state returns and not the federal ones currently at the center of a battle between the House and the Treasury Department. But those returns would provide a trove of information as New York serves as the headquarters of the president's business and which has served as his home.

What disturbs me the most is that these leaked tax returns are literally...........25-35 years old. Am I the only one that finds that disturbing? Please tell me that I'm not the only one.

How much would you cooperate with those out to destroy you?

Isn't it just a precedent that was set a long time ago? It seems like just standard procedure to make it public. His appearing to hide them makes some people very suspicious.
