President Donald Trump has ended his business relationship with a Republican attorney representing Harvard University in a dispute over billions in federal grant money.
On Thursday, the Trump Organization’s Eric Trump confirmed to CNN that the company had cut ties with Bill Burck after the president unloaded an angry rant about him on Truth Social.
“Harvard is an Anti-Semitic, Far Left Institution, as are numerous others, with students being accepted from all over the World that want to rip our Country apart,” Donald Trump wrote. “Harvard is a threat to Democracy, with a lawyer, who represents me, who should therefore be forced to resign, immediately, or be fired. He’s not that good, anyway, and I hope that my very big and beautiful company, now run by my sons, gets rid of him ASAP!”

Apparently, Eric Trump, head of the Trump Organization, was paying attention to his father’s wishes because he quickly moved to sever the business relationship with Burck.
“I view it as a conflict and I will be moving in a different direction,” he insisted on Thursday.
The company had retained Burck in January as an outside ethics adviser.
