New Jersey OKs bill pressuring Trump to disclose tax returns

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — President Donald Trump might not make it on the ballot in 2020 in New Jersey if he doesn't disclose his tax returns under a bill approved by lawmakers.

The Democrat-led Assembly on Thursday approved the legislation inspired by the Republican president's failure to disclose his tax returns despite state Republicans' claims the bill was "transparently political and blatantly unconstitutional."

It now heads to Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a longtime Trump ally, to sign or veto. Christie's office declined to weigh in.

The vote comes after MSNBC obtained and revealed two pages of Trump's 2005 tax return that showed he earned $150 million that year and paid $38 million in income taxes.
