Clinton Takes Aim at Trump for Refusing to Pay Employees

HeadlineAug 18, 2016

In news from the campaign trail, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took aim at Donald Trump’s record as an employer during a speech in Ohio Wednesday.

Hillary Clinton: “It just really hits me personally when people are standing up and telling their stories. They were small business people, they were plumbers, electricians, painters, who did work for Donald Trump, and he refused to pay them. That violates the basic bargain. If you do your job, you’re supposed to be rewarded for your work, not stiffed, not told to go sue somebody.”

Trump was in New York yesterday for his first classified intelligence briefing with the FBI.
