Its spokesperson noted that former New York AG Eric Schneiderman made it his mission to used the issue to advance his political career. His successor stated that fighting the White House is ‘the most important work [she] have ever done.” Therefore, political attacks against the President will continue.
Additionally, the spokesperson said, “The Foundation has donated over $19 million to worthy charitable causes — more than it even received. The President himself — or through his companies — has contributed more than $8 million. The reason the Foundation was able to donate more than it took in is because it had little to no expenses. This is unheard of for a charitable foundation.”
Furthermore, the spokesperson accused the New York AG’s office of holding hostage its remaining $1.7 million for political gain since the foundation previously announced its intention to dissolve.
Pres. Trump also condemned the lawsuit and emphasized that he will not settle it.
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.
