Trump rails against Cuomo "using his Attorney General as a bludgeoning tool for his own purposes"

[Miles Archer]

President Donald Trump signaled possible new findings might be coming from investigators in New York state in a Monday afternoon Twitter rant.

The president sent out three tweets attacking the state’s Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Letitia James claiming harassment against his family and their businesses.

“It is very hard and expensive to live in New York,” Trump began. “Governor Andrew Cuomo uses his Attorney General as a bludgeoning tool for his own purposes. They sue on everything, always in search of a crime. I even got sued on a Foundation which took Zero rent & expenses & gave away more money than it had.”

“Going on for years, originally brought by Crooked Hillary’s Campaign Chair, A.G. Eric Schneiderman, until forced to resign for abuse against women,” he continued. “They never even looked at the disgusting Clinton Foundation.”

“Now Cuomo’s A.G. is harassing all of my New York businesses in search of anything at all they can find to make me look as bad as possible,” the president added. “So, on top of ridiculously high taxes, my children and companies are spending a fortune on lawyers. No wonder people and businesses are fleeing New York in record numbers!”

1. A charitable organization that gave away more money than it had?

See, that right there is a crime. And Trump confessed to it without anyone questioning him. No wonder he doesn't want to be interrogated under oath.

8. It did not "give away" the money.

Your line implies that the Trump family may have done good with the money, but gave away more than the charity had. Evidence say they raided the charity for their own benefit.

9. I was quoting what Needy Amin said

I probably should have included quotation marks.

Trump seems to be counting on the American people being as amnesiac about his misdeeds as he is. When he "won" the election (there's the quotation marks!), and with the New York AG breathing down his neck, he tried to dissolve the Trump Foundation and scupper away. The AG intervened and forced him to dissolve the Foundation under court supervision. Trump has left quite a trail of lies about his namesake Foundation, and it appears they might just catch up with him.

5. And the NY AG has a reply...."You can call me Trish"

NY AG James (@NewYorkStateAG) Tweeted:
As the elected AG of NY, I have a sworn duty to protect & uphold state law. My office will follow the facts of any case, wherever they lead.

Make no mistake: No one is above the law, not even the President.

P.S. My name is Letitia James. (You can call me Tish.) https://t.co/GXkZ2QVWqE
