New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal is suing the Trump administration over claims the president made earlier this year on social media regarding low-income housing and its connection to rises in crime. Trump tweeted about the issue in July, referencing an Obama-era Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulation he'd rescinded. "I am happy to inform all of the people living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low-income housing built in your neighborhood," the commander-in-chief wrote. "That’s what we got from the Trump Administration when we requested data supporting the President’s claims linking affordable housing to crime. Grewal said he is seeking any information supportive of Trump's claims from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and HUD, about the connection to spikes in criminal activity and low-income housing.
