Trump Jr. accuses NY AG James of ‘persecution’ in Trump Organization probe
NY Post
Donald Trump Jr. accused New York Attorney General Letitia James Tuesday of leading a “political persecution” against his father, former President Donald Trump, with her office’s investigation of the Trump Organization.
“I think it’s a political persecution, and I know that because she literally campaigned on it,” the 45th president’s eldest son told Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight”, referring to James’ 2018 campaign to be elected state AG. “She was going to investigate the crimes. The problem is, it wasn’t as though she was a part of this office. She had no idea. “But in New York, it’s OK to try to persecute your political enemies, to try to target them, to try to hurt them, and they’ve been doing that for over five years,” Trump Jr. added. “So five years, no actual crime. They’re in search of a crime. They’ve been trying to investigate, to create a crime, because that’s what you’re doing in New York. Again, shouldn’t surprise us anymore, but if this was going on in a banana republic, we’d be outraged.”More Related News
“The right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” is guaranteed right at the top of the First Amendment, but the folks in charge of The Washington Post see such action as profoundly sinister if the “wrong” people do it, or perhaps the paper’s problem is with association and communication for the wrong causes.
