President Donald Trump turned his frustration on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday, saying he is now in a group of "harassers" as the state expands its probe into his background.
Trump tweeted:
"New York State and its Governor, Andrew Cuomo, are now proud members of the group of PRESIDENTIAL HARASSERS. No wonder people are fleeing the State in record numbers. The Witch Hunt continues!"
New York Attorney General Letitia James issued subpoenas to two banks as she searches for loan applications, mortgages, and other documents tied to Trump's real estate business. She opened the probe after Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen accused Trump last week of exaggerating his wealth over the years.
James' investigation is civil in nature, not criminal.
Trump and his 2016 campaign are also the subjects of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation that is looking at whether the Russians lent a hand in Trump's defeat of Hillary Clinton.
