"This is not either a sleazy or a political action," New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood says in response to President Trump's tweet about her lawsuit against his charity foundation. "This is a straight-forward case of violation of the laws" https://t.co/DLBlN9aKbm

I know it seems like it was 90 years ago because the IG report is vacuuming up all the attention but earlier today the New York AG sued the president, and accused him of using his charity to decorate his club, settle business disputes and help his campaign https://t.co/63BNcx8Z2e

Just talking to a former IRS official about this. He was amazed at the range of the violations here. "They hit an extroardinary catalog of how *not* to run a private foundation. There’s little else he could have done that would have made it worse." https://t.co/349rMIV8rr

Trump tweets:
The sleazy New York Democrats, and their now disgraced (and run out of town) A.G. Eric Schneiderman, are doing everything they can to sue me on a foundation that took in $18,800,000 and gave out to charity more money than it took in, $19,200,000. I won’t settle this case!…

….Schneiderman, who ran the Clinton campaign in New York, never had the guts to bring this ridiculous case, which lingered in their office for almost 2 years. Now he resigned his office in disgrace, and his disciples brought it when we would not settle.

Maybe, if everyone’s picking on you, you’re the problem. Just sayin’!
