The WH has dismissed reporting about #Trump's ties to #JeffreyEpstein as "fake news," though it has acknowledged his name appears in documents related to his case.
Rev #AlSharpton criticized Trump's reference to "slums" in Washington & his equating of #homeless people to criminals.
"We cannot, nor will we, take this lying down," he said.
Sharpton says he will lead a march on Aug 28 in downtown #NYC from near the courthouse where Trump was convicted towards a Trump-owned building on Wall Street.

The United States Conference of Mayors #USCM, a non-partisan org that represents #mayors of at least 1,400 cities, said in a statement it hopes federal officials will work on "a partnership – not a #takeover" in #Washington.
"Ultimately, the best public safety outcomes are delivered by local police departments & local officials, who know the communities. America’s mayors never see takeovers by other levels of government as a tactic that has any track record of producing results," it read.
