State senators in New York passed two bills aimed directly at President Trump -- one that could allow his state tax returns to be released to Congress and another to allow state prosecutors to charge people whom the President pardons with state crimes
The bills were passed in back-to-back votes by the Democrat-controlled state Senate Wednesday. Though the bills have passed the Senate, they still have to pass in the state assembly before heading to the governor's desk. Its members are expected to discuss the bills Monday, assembly spokeswoman Keri Biche tells CNN.
Some Republicans view the legislation as politically motivated and a way to attack the Trump White House. The state's Democratic leadership sees them as a way to hold the President and his administration accountable.The White House hasn't announced pardon plans for any of Trump's associates.
