President Donald Trump defended his charitable organization and blasted New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state’s former Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Trump made his comments in three Wednesday tweets and referred to Schneiderman as a “sleazebag.” His remarks came after the Donald J. Trump Foundation agreed to dissolve under judicial supervision.
That action is a result of an ongoing lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general’s office, which claimed that Trump and his children violated campaign finance laws and abused its tax-exempt status.
Trump posted on Twitter: “The Trump Foundation has done great work and given away lots of money, both mine and others, to great charities over the years - with me taking NO fees, rent, salaries etc. Now, as usual, I am getting slammed by Cuomo and the Dems in a long running civil lawsuit started by.....
“...sleazebag AG Eric Schneiderman, who has since resigned over horrific women abuse, when I wanted to close the Foundation so as not to be in conflict with politics. Shady Eric was head of New Yorkers for Clinton, and refused to even look at the corrupt Clinton Foundation......
....In any event, it goes on and on & the new AG, who is now being replaced by yet another AG (who openly campaigned on a GET TRUMP agenda), does little else but rant, rave & politic against me. Will never be treated fairly by these people - a total double standard of 'justice.'"
