So far, the only Democrat able to utilize that law wants nothing to do with it.
It's just one of a series of decisions that have landed House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., in hot water with those on the left who feel the longtime lawmaker hasn't done nearly enough to obtain the president's taxes.
The progressive magazine The American Prospect also has repeatedly taken issue with Neal's leadership, saying his committee "has shown none of the zeal for oversight exhibited by its counterparts."
After the New York law passed, Judd Legum, a liberal journalist, tweeted that
it looks as if "House Democrats don't actually want Trump's tax returns" and "are doing pretty much everything possible to make sure they don't get them before November 2020." And the liberal resistance group Stand Up America demanded that Neal seek the president's state returns, saying that "any further delay is an injustice to the American people."
