NY ethics board drops Trump complaint about attorney general

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York's ethics commission has dropped Donald Trump's complaint that the state attorney general engaged in misconduct during an investigation of the former Trump University.
Trump's December 2013 complaint accused Democratic Attorney General Eric Schneiderman of soliciting campaign donations from Trump's daughter even as his office was investigating the mogul's business school.
Schneiderman had sued Trump four months earlier, seeking $40 million. He alleged that the school violated consumer protection law, engaged in fraud and that most students never got their promised apprenticeships. The lawsuit is still pending.
Trump, currently seeking the Republican presidential nomination, said most student surveys rated the program as excellent.
His attorney, Alan Garten, on Monday called the decision by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics "a joke" and said they're considering an appeal.
"The decision by the commission not to proceed demonstrates that it's just a facade," he said.
Commission Chairman Daniel Horwitz, in a letter to Schneiderman's attorney this month, wrote that based on its review of material presented and available information, it wasn't taking any further action on the complaint.
