NY AG Letitia James won't release tax returns, blames staff: ‘They will make that determination'

2026-04-18

[NY Post] Embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James on Friday repeatedly refused to tell The Post why she won’t release her tax returns like other top Democrats in the state did earlier in the week.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul have made income tax returns available for review by reporters, but James is refusing to do so — even as she fights back allegations she falsified information on mortgage applications.

The Empire State’s AG bizarrely claimed that the decision to release her own tax return was up to her staff.
That's not how that works
"They will make that determination," a perturbed James repeatedly told The Post as she partied with other Dem big wigs at the Somos conference in Albany Friday night.

"You know the practice. You speak to the comms director," James argued before turning away to work a rope line with other glad-handing attendees.

The Post reached out to James’ office about the filings several times this week.

Several minutes after the exchange, a spokesperson confirmed to The Post that James’ staff had in fact decided not to release her tax returns.
"The dog ate my tax returns"
“We are not releasing the Attorney General’s tax returns. All are welcome to review her annual financial disclosure when that is released,” James’ Communications Director, Alexis Richards, wrote in a statement.
