Eric Trump continued his family’s crusade against New York Attorney General Letitia James on Sunday, touting his father’s accomplishments—including, incredulously, the claim that the elder Trump was responsible for building New York’s skyline.
“I’m a guy that grew up in New York, my father built the skyline of New York,” he told Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. “This is election interference.”
Trump continued to rail against the New York attorney general without Bartiromo following up on the claim, though records indicated it was dubious. Trump’s hand in various New York City properties—a small fraction of the tens of thousands of buildings in Manhattan alone—amounted to licensing agreements of his name and brand along with partial ownerships, according to a review by Curbed.
