Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed New York Attorney General Letitia James, blaming her for the accounting firm Mazars’ decision to sever ties with the Trump Organization while suggesting that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is somehow responsible for his legal troubles.
Trump started off by boasting about his company’s assets, claiming they have more value than what was listed in his financial statements.
“We have a great company with fantastic assets that are unique, extremely valuable and, in many cases, far more valuable than what was listed in our Financial Statements,” Trump said. “My company has among the best real estate and other assets anywhere in the world, has significant amounts of cash, and has relatively very little debt, which is totally current.”
He then claimed that the investigation into his company amounts to “prosecutorial misconduct.”
“The accounting firm Mazars has been threatened, harassed, and insulted like virtually no other firm has ever been,” Trump ranted. “They were essentially forced to resign from a great long-term account by the prosecutorial misconduct of a highly political, but failed, gubernatorial candidate, Letitia James, and the Hillary Clinton run District Attorney’s Office of Manhattan, where crime has reached levels not even thought possible …”

The former president concluded by repeating allegations against members of Clinton’s 2016 campaign staff that were put forth in a recent court filing by Special Counsel John Durham. Trump over the weekend suggested that unnamed Clinton campaign staffers should be put to death over the allegations.
