New Jersey now investigating Donald Trump
Yesterday Eric Trump was forced to testify to the New York Attorney General about the financial fraud committed by Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. The AG’s civil suit as in support of the Manhattan District Attorney’s criminal case against Donald Trump, which has a grand jury in the process of indicting him. Now it turns out New York isn’t the only state Trump has to worry about.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy tweeted this: “The President & his staff acted recklessly in coming to New Jersey knowing that they had been exposed to someone with a confirmed positive test. We hope that no confirmed cases come out of the event in Bedminster. This is a matter of humanity, but also of leadership by example … We continue to investigate reports that suggest the Bedminster event may not have complied with our current rules, which may have put others at risk. Any failures to comply with our emergency orders will be referred to @NewJerseyOAG for a follow-up.”
To be clear, “NewJerseyOAG” is the Office of the Attorney General for New Jersey, who has the power to bring civil or criminal action against Donald Trump and Bedminster in response to whatever laws he broke with his fundraiser stunt.
