Michigan AG Dana Nessel slammed President Trump’s claim that he can withhold federal aid from Michigan, as he’s threatened to do, as “completely illegal” and promised that Michigan voters would remember the threat when they head the polls in November.
“But unfortunately we've seen him do that before, even when Congress had appropriately appropriated money," Nessel said."And we saw this, of course, with Ukraine. And I would say that him withholding money from Michigan is really not any different in terms of the illegality of him taking that measure.”
On Wednesday, Trump tweeted that he “will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!”Trump said the move was done “illegally and without authorization from a rogue secretary of state." The president later corrected his tweet to refer to absentee ballot"applications."
