Trump's name could be struck off election ballot papers in Washington unless he releases his tax returns
The bill passed by the state senate has been sent to the House of Representatives for approval, and if passed "will definitely be challenged in court"
Washington's state Senate has passed a bill that could see President Donald Trump's name struck off 2020 presidential election ballots unless he releases his tax returns of the past five years.
Reports state that the senators approved the bill 28 votes to 21 on Tuesday, sending it to the House of Representatives for approval.
The move, according to lawyers is "likely Constitutional" but warned that it "will definitely be challenged in court" if it passes the House of Representatives, the Daily Mail reported.
Democrats reportedly supported the bill, saying that it was imperative to restore democratic norms after Trump broke 40 years of tradition by refusing to release his tax returns.
