Surprise surprise. It turns out that the Qatar jet was not a gift at all.

It was actually just a down payment on some Idaho real estate.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
