ATTORNEY GENERAL/NEW YORK/NRA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Gov. Andrew Cuomo struck back at President Donald Trump on Monday [4-29-19] in an escalating war of words over the New York attorney general’s recently launched investigation of the National Rifle Association. In a pair of morning tweets, Trump said the NRA was ‘under siege by Cuomo and the New York State A.G.’ and accused them of abusing their legal authority to target the group…In response, Cuomo released a statement saying ‘the only thing illegal is the gun lobby’s insurance scheme,’ and noting the incidence in mass gun violence over the past several years…Attorney General Tish James’ office announced on Friday [4-26-19] that it was investigating the NRA over allegations of self-dealing that potentially threaten the organization’s nonprofit status. James often spoke of taking legal action against the Trump administration during her campaign last year.”
