Today the New York state senate passed two laws going after Trump on presidential pardons and his personal finances
ALBANY — The state Senate passed a pair of bills on Wednesday directly targeting President Donald Trump on the subjects of presidential pardons and his personal finances, possibly setting the stage for a congressional end run around the IRS as congressional Democrats attempt to obtain Trump’s taxes.
The other bill would change New York’s double jeopardy statute to let prosecutors like Attorney General Tish James bring state-level charges against individuals who have received presidential pardons for similar federal crimes. It would not be retroactive, applying only to cases where jurors have not yet been sworn in — if Michael Cohen were pardoned, for example, he couldn’t be tried on related state charges.
The Senate's action shows "that this is an issue that many New Yorkers care about,” said Assemblyman David Buchwald , the sponsor of the tax bill in his house. “The attorney general, to her credit, didn’t rest on her laurels and did due diligence in reaching out to the members and has, I think, persuaded enough of them to vote for the bill,” Lentol said. “We’re in a good place now.”
