Eric Trump defends father, stumps for Hardy in valley

- By Ramona Giwargis Las Vegas Review-journal

During a Las Vegas Valley campaign stop Monday, Eric Trump defended his father’s sharp words and cautioned that a Democratic-controlled Congress would lead to “anarchy.”

Trump stopped at the Nevada Republican Party’s Summerlin office to stump for former Rep. Cresent Hardy, who is running for Congress against fellow former Rep. Steven Horsford. If Republican­s lose their majorities in Congress, Trump warned, nothing will get done.

“America is winning again, and it would be a horrible thing for this country,” Trump said in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-journal. “They would do everything they possibly could to derail anything he wanted to do. They’ll resist and they’ll obstruct. Nancy Pelosi and

for almost two years,” Review-journal Executive Editor Glenn Cook said Monday. “Bravo to Judge Williams for ordering their release. The informatio­n in these records is critical to voters who have days left to decide whether they’ll re-elect Trustee

Child. If the school district had its way, the records wouldn’t be released until after the election, if ever.”

Review-journal attorneys seeking the records said they were rebuffed by one of the district’s lawyers, who later stopped responding to repeated requests for the documents, the court filing claims.

“(Attorney Adam) Honey refused to make the records available to the Review-journal and expressed hostility and anger towards the idea of producing records,” the motion states.

The district said in a statement that it is working diligently to comply with the Supreme Court ruling and will produce the documents as soon as possible.

Child said in a text message Monday that he was never given the opportunit­y to respond to or refute allegation­s, and he questioned what he called a one-sided investigat­ion.

“I have repeatedly stated that I support the release of the investigat­ion documents pertaining to allegation­s made against me, I support the release of these documents since this will be the first time that I will find out what these allegation­s are and who made them,” he said. “I have been declared guilty until proven innocent.”
