An aide to President Trump said that the Baltimore region has squandered billions of dollars in federal grants given by the administration.
'President Trump has given $16billion in 2018 alone to Elijah Cummings' district in federal grants,' Lynne Patton, a regional administrator with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, told Fox News on Monday.
Patton oversaw millions of dollars as a vice president at the Eric Trump Foundation, a charity effort Eric Trump suspended after his dad won the White House.
She forged close friendships and bonds with Trump family members in a variety of roles - and cut a 5 minute video during the campaign that passionately defended Donald Trump from 'repeated and reprehensible' attempts to connect him to 'hate-mongering groups.
The row over Baltimore has also embroiled the Rev. Al Sharpton, the former civil rights leader who is now a commentator on the left-leaning cable network MSNBC. Trump and Sharpton engaged in a war of words on Monday with the president claiming he hates 'whites & cops' while the famed black activist arrived in Baltimore to defend Cummings and charge Trump with having 'a particular venom for blacks and people of color.
Trump went the attack after Sharpton tweeted he was on his way to Baltimore to defend the Democratic lawmaker after the president lashed out against him.
Earlier on Monday, the Maryland rep released a congressional report Monday accusing Donald Trump's inauguration committee chairman of trying to financially benefit from pushing Trump to strike a deal with Saudi Arabia.
