President Trump has had enough of the liberal New York officials who are waging a legal campaign against him. Former state attorney general Eric Schneiderman filed a lawsuit against Trump last year accusing him of using the Trump Foundation for his own political purposes. The president agreed to dissolve the foundation's assets to other nonprofit organizations, but New York leaders continued to probe.
When Letitia James was elected last year after Schneiderman resigned over sexual misconduct allegations, she promised to use her new power specifically to target Trump. And that she has. In her first year on the job, she has subpoenaed Trump's banks, seeking information about the Trump Organization and the president's finances. She wants $2.8 million in restitution and a ban on Trump or his family operating any New York charities for ten years.
Trump shared his frustrations online on Monday.
James answered the president.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo shared his reaction to Trump's tweetstorm via a conference call with reporters.
"He doesn’t understand how government works," Cuomo charged.
"If he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to worry about," he concluded.

Was she upset when Obama was caging children or was she too busy mixing drinks at that time?

With all her public meltdowns I think it is time for a mental health intervention. A 72 hour hold would be a good start.

Strange.
The article never mentioned AOC.
Newspaper writers and editors are the lowest of the low. Borderline retarded.

Rearrange the same letters a little bit and the bane would fit her to a “T”.

Or maybe stealing from the tip jar.

The fox guy sitting in for Baier said ‘sorry to interrupt’ then showed AOC quoting something stupid. Congressman McCarthy could have at least charged “You interrupted me for THAT woman?”

Former state attorney general Eric Schneiderman filed a lawsuit against Trump last year accusing him of using the Trump Foundation for his own political purposes. The president agreed to dissolve the foundation's assets to other nonprofit organizations, but New York leaders continued to probe. ===========================
From 2001-2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Guess who took over this investigation in 2002? None other than Comey. Comey was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from January 2002 to December 2003. A Grand Jury had been empanelled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Clinton Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared.
nypost.com
Then-State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings — making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a Scripps News report.
Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014. New York’s charity law clearly states: “Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution.”
But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton’s “leadership council” in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.
Other charities complied, including the George W. Bush foundation, which reported receiving $5 million from Saudi Arabia and $500,000 from Kuwait.
On its website, the Clinton Foundation reveals its foreign donors, but using only broad ranges, such as $5 million to $10 million, without any time frames. The IRS doesn’t require such disclosures.

Hillary and smirking suck-up, Eric Schneiderman (right).
Schneiderman was recently ousted from office after women
came forward saying he spat at, slapped, and choked women he was intimate with.

Um... How is it that almost everyone breezed right by the fact that the story doesn’t match the headline?

Time for Cuomo to have his Eliot Spitzer moment.

"If he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to worry about," he concluded. This misstatement makes me see red. It's an absolute lie - especially when under harsh and sadistic dhimmicrat rule.
