Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ): “A lie about an issue around 9/11 is despicable.”
Cameron Joseph@New York Daily News (9/10/16): “Though the billionaire presidential candidate has repeatedly suggested he got that money for helping others out after the attacks, documents obtained by the Daily News show that Trump’s account was just a huge lie. Records from the Empire State Development Corp., which administered the recovery program, show that Trump’s company asked for those funds for ‘rent loss,’ ‘cleanup’ and ‘repair’ — not to recuperate money lost in helping people. … [In April], Trump patted himself on the back for his imaginary efforts. … ‘I was happy to do it, and to this day I am still being thanked for the many people I helped. The value of what I did was far greater than the money talked about, much of which was sent automatically to building owners in the area.'”
