Schumer on Trump’s $1.8B Anti-Weaponization Slush Fund: ‘Incredible Depravity, Disgusting Selfishness’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “But, however bad this week is for Republicans -- and believe me it's bad -- it's been even worse for the American people. First, on Trump's two, nearly two billion dollar MAGA slush fund. Incredible. Depravity. Disgusting selfishness. Yesterday, Trump's Department of Justice expanded the settlement he made with himself, granting him and his family immunity from tax audits. Did you hear that America? Trump just gave his family a license to commit tax fraud to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more. He's using nearly two billion dollars, America, of your taxpayer dollars that he's placed in a slush fund to enrich his MAGA loyalists. Trump doesn't have to pay his taxes and meanwhile he's using your tax dollars, America, to line the pockets of his families and his far-right cronies. The naked corruption, something as low and depraved as we have ever seen, is absolutely egregious. Only in Trump's Washington could a president sue himself, settle with himself, and somehow stick the American people with the bill. Who would have thought that even a man as depraved and low as Donald Trump, as dishonest and as selfish, would do something like this?”
