Trump & kids, including real first-lady Ivanka, sued for violating state charity laws
Trump and family sued by New York attorney general over alleged charity violations
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ral-violations
Quote:
The attorney general of New York state sued the Donald J Trump charitable foundation, President Trump and three of his children on Thursday for violating state charity laws, alleging that the Trumps used charitable assets as “little more than a checkbook for payments to not-for-profits from Mr Trump” and his companies.
Foundation assets, acquired through tax-deductible donations, were used to settle legal claims against one of Trump’s golf clubs and to buy a painting of Trump to be displayed at another club, the suit alleges.
The lawsuit, filed by the attorney general, Barbara Underwood, on the morning of Trump’s 72nd birthday, seeks $2.8m in restitution and penalties from Trump and asks for the distribution of $1m in assets to other charities.
In addition to Trump, the lawsuit names his children Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric.
Trump began tweeting soon after the charges were filed, dismissing the lawsuit as the work of “the sleazy New York Democrats””. (Bahahahahahahaha so guilty)
...Episodes of alleged wrongdoing highlighted by the lawsuit include a charity fundraiser for veterans that Trump held on 28 January 2016, when he was a presidential candidate. Trump held the benefit in lieu of participating in a presidential debate.
