Cuomo hits Trump back on Foundation

Dec 21, 2018 12:23 am
Marie J. French reports in Politico that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo defended himself Dec. 20 against a presidential tirade, after the Trump Foundation was dissolved through an agreement with the attorney general's office. “The attorney general in New York state is a separate office [from mine]. Barbara Underwood is not a political official, she’s a former solicitor general. It has nothing to do with me whatsoever,” Cuomo said. “He blames everyone for everything. Look in the mirror. All of this is him and self-inflicted.” Trump earlier in the day had Tweeted, "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." The agreement to dissolve the Trump Foundation also bars President Donald Trump and his three eldest children from serving on the boards of other New York charities. Read the full story in Politico.
