President Donald Trump criticized New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Twitter over their decision to launch an investigation into the National Rifle Association (NRA).
James announced that her office had launched an investigation into the group on Saturday (April 27) and said that subpoenas had been issued to officials at the NRA and other organizations. While she did not give specifics on the investigation, it is reportedly going to look into financial misconduct within the gun-rights organization.
President Trump, who spoke at the NRA's Annual Meeting last week, took to Twitter where he blasted Cuomo and James and suggested that the NRA should leave New York.
"The NRA is under siege by Cuomo and the New York State A.G., who are illegally using the State’s legal apparatus to take down and destroy this very important organization, & others. It must get its act together quickly, stop the internal fighting, & get back to GREATNESS - FAST!"
"....People are fleeing New York State because of high taxes and yes, even oppression of sorts. They didn’t even put up a fight against SALT - could have won. So much litigation. The NRA should leave and fight from the outside of this very difficult to deal with (unfair) State!"
