The New York Senate adopted a bill on Wednesday (May 8) to grant the US Congress access to Donald Trump's state tax returns, after the US president blocked attempts by congressional committees to review his past filings. President Donald Trump is in a bitter standoff with US Congress over the access to his tax returns. (AFP/Brendan Smialowski) The bill still has to be approved by the New York State Assembly, but that body is dominated by Democrats, making its passage all but certain. The bill - the latest round in a battle between the Republican president and the Democrat-led House of Representatives - will then have to be signed by Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has already signaled his support for the plan.
