看到纽约市和州政府分崩离析,我很难过。他们想做的只是调查,让我更加讨厌他们。科莫州长失去了控制,失去了理智。对无家可归者和所有人来说都很糟糕!
——唐纳德·特朗普2019年12月28日
在早先的推特上,他抨击库莫和加州州长加文·纽瑟姆据称未能解决“无家可归者问题”
“加州和纽约必须为他们巨大的无家可归者问题做点什么。他们正在创造记录!如果他们的州长不能处理这种情况,他们应该能够很容易地处理,他们必须打电话“礼貌地”寻求帮助。有能力就容易了!”总统写道。
特朗普一再攻击科莫和其他纽约官员,因为该州继续追查他的纳税申报单和财务记录。在上个月的一条推文中,他抨击科莫和纽约市长比尔·德布拉西奥,声称他们导致了他家乡的衰落。
他写道:“看到纽约发生的事情太令人难过了,科莫州长和德布拉西奥市长让900名罪犯走上了我们这个快速衰落的城市的人行道,其中一些人冷酷无情。”。“激进左翼民主党正在杀害我们的城市。NYPD专员要辞职了!”
唐纳德·特朗普、他的孩子小唐纳德·特朗普、伊万卡·特朗普、埃里克·特朗普和特朗普基金会慈善机构在11月被纽约州法官下令支付一笔滥用慈善资产罚款200万美元为了个人、商业和政治利益,以及其他违法行为。
本月早些时候,纽约州司法部长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯宣布,除了特朗普基金会被关闭,总统还被迫承认他滥用资金谋取政治利益。她说和解金被分发给八个慈善机构。
詹姆斯补充说,作为和解的一部分,特朗普的孩子伊万卡、埃里克和小唐纳德接受了强制性培训。
詹姆斯也在调查特朗普是否为了获得贷款而夸大自己的财富。美联社9月份报道称,她在3月份向德意志银行和投资银行发出传票,寻求与特朗普房地产项目和他未能购买水牛城票据有关的贷款申请和其他记录。詹姆斯已被联系置评。
与此同时,曼哈顿地区检察官塞鲁斯·万斯正在寻求特朗普的纳税申报单,作为对总统、特朗普组织和特朗普家族房地产业务的刑事调查的一部分。
纽约时报9月份报道称,万斯传唤特朗普和特朗普组织寻求过去八年的州和联邦纳税申报单。此前不久,对总统在支付给成人电影女演员斯托米·丹尼尔斯(真名斯蒂芬妮·克利福德)的款项中扮演的角色展开了调查,她声称自己与特朗普有婚外情。万斯已被联系置评。
库莫表示,特朗普今年早些时候宣布在佛罗里达州居住的决定是一种策略,目的是避免向纽约官员透露自己的财务状况。“曼哈顿地区检察官办公室对总统提起了法律诉讼,他们试图让他上缴税款,”科莫上月告诉MSNBC。
“我猜想,他的律师建议他,如果他可以说他不再是纽约州的居民,这将有助于他的案件不要向曼哈顿地区检察官缴税。”
白宫和库莫已经联系并征求意见。
DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE HATES NEW YORK 'EVEN MORE THAN I SHOULD' BECAUSE OF INVESTIGATIONS
President Donald Trump has slammed New York, city and state, for repeatedly investigating him, saying officials do it to make him "hate them even more than I should." Trump also laid into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, claiming the city and state are "falling apart" on his watch.
"So sad to see that New York City and State are falling apart," Trump wrote in a tweet on Saturday. "All they want to do is investigate to make me hate them even more than I should. Governor Cuomo has lost control, and lost his mind. Very bad for the homeless and all!"

In an earlier tweet, he slammed Cuomo and his Californian counterpart, Governor Gavin Newsom, for allegedly failing to tackle "homeless problems."
"California and New York must do something about their TREMENDOUS Homeless problems. They are setting records! If their Governors can't handle the situation, which they should be able to do very easily, they must call and 'politely' ask for help. Would be so easy with competence!" the president wrote.
Trump has repeatedly attacked Cuomo and other New York officials as the state continues to pursue his tax returns and financial records. In a tweet last month, he blasted Cuomo along with New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, claiming they were causing his hometown's decline.
"So sad to see what is happening in New York where Governor Cuomo & Mayor DeBlasio are letting out 900 Criminals, some hardened & bad, onto the sidewalks of our rapidly declining, because of them, city," he wrote. "The Radical Left Dems are killing our cities. NYPD Commissioner is resigning!"
Donald Trump, his children Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and the Trump Foundation charity, were ordered in November by a New York State judge to pay a $2 million fine over the misuse of charity assets for personal, business and politcal gain, among other violations.
Earlier this month, New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced that as well as the Trump Foundation being shut down, the president was forced to concede he had misused funds for political gain. She said the settlement money was distributed to eight charities.
James added that as part of the settlement, Trump's children Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr. had undergone mandatory training.
James is also investigating whether Trump exaggerated his wealth in order to obtain loans. The Associated Press reported in September that she issued subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and Investors Bank in March seeking loan applications and other records related to Trump real estate projects and his failed bid to buy the Buffalo Bills. James has been contacted for comment.
Meanwhile, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is seeking Trump's tax returns as part of a criminal investigation of the president, the Trump Organization and the Trump family's real estate business.
The New York Times reported in September that Vance subpoenaed Trump and the Trump Organization seeking state and federal tax returns for the last eight years. It came shortly after an investigation was launched into the president's role in payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, who claimed she had an affair with Trump. Vance has been contacted for comment.
Cuomo said Trump's decision to declare residency in Florida earlier this year was a ploy to avoid disclosing his finances to New York officials. "There is a legal proceeding against the president from the Manhattan district attorney's office where they're trying to get him to turn over the taxes," Cuomo told MSNBC last month.
"My guess is he was advised by his lawyer that would help his case to not to release his taxes to the Manhattan district attorney if he could say he was no longer a resident of the state of New York."
The White House and Cuomo have been contacted for comment.
