Calls NY AG investigation "continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt"

He released a 900-word statement calling the investigation "a continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of the United States," accusing prosecutors of being "desperate" to find a crime, and attacking the AG as "corrupt."
