http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/26/news/companies/trump-university/Trump then turned his attention to the prosecutor, saying Schneiderman approached Trump for political donations -- and when Trump refused, Scheiderman followed with a lawsuit as revenge.
On Twitter, Trump had called the New York attorney general "a total sleezebag" for "shaking down" for money.
In response Monday morning, Scheiderman said, "Prosecutors are all used to people who commit fraud making wild accusations when they're caught."
