NEW YORK (AP) — Fordham law professor Zephyr Teachout launched her Democratic campaign for New York attorney general outside Trump Tower on Tuesday with a promise to crack down on potential conflicts of interest in President Donald Trump's sprawling business empire.

Teachout said she would use the vast power of the office to litigate aggressively against the president, calling previous actions by the state too defensive.

"I will use law as a sword," she said, "not just a shield."

Teachout, who garnered 34 percent of the vote in a 2014 gubernatorial primary loss to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, faces a similarly uphill battle in the Sept. 13 primary for attorney general. New York City Public Advocate Letitia James won the endorsement of state Democrats at their convention last month and has the support of Cuomo.

"Sprawling" in the sense that it's sprawled out on the ground exhausted and unable to function? truthisfreedom Jun 2018 #5
That's a far more reasonable explanation. SergeStorms Jun 2018 #6

Trump's businesses almost always fail, except for his miniature golf courses (to match his miniature hands and penis) and some real estate holdings. Trump's "empire" isn't nearly as vast as many people think, nor is his wealth anywhere near what he says it is. That's why he won't release his tax records. He doesn't want his family or any of his brain-dead followers to know.

Being around Trump for any length of time is hazardous to anything's health. Everything he touches......dies.
