Donald Trump to pay $2 million to settle NY Attorney General civil lawsuit against Trump Foundation and his children


Donald Trump to pay $2 million to settle New York Attorney General civil lawsuit against Trump Foundation and his children - CNNPolitics

"A judge ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to a collection of nonprofit organizations as part of a settlement with the New York state attorney general's office to resolve a civil lawsuit that alleged "persistent" violations of charities law that included unlawful coordination with the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, according to a court filing Thursday.

Filed in June 2018, the lawsuit alleged that the President and his three eldest children -- Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric -- violated federal and state campaign finance laws and abused the Donald J. Trump Foundation's tax-exempt status. According to the lawsuit, the Trumps allowed the foundation to be used "as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump's business and political interests."


You guys need to learn how to check the hell out of people and then just settle when busted. It's what our top politician is great at.

Damn, you beat me to it anyway
What is scumbag Trump is
 
Hehe, these restrictions are going to sting.

As part of the settlement, Trump also agreed ... to comply with certain restrictions if he wants to join the board of another New York charity. Those restrictions include that the majority of the board members of the charity must not be Trump's family members or have any business relationship with him, his companies or any companies owned by his relatives.

Trump is saving over a million/year from the tax cut he signed and he's gotta pay 2 mil to settle for cheating charities.

never forget that Christians supported him.

Liars who pretend to be Christians because they think it sounds good and exploit faith for their hate filled agendas supported Trump.

Christians did not.
 
I can’t find a link, but I heard that Trump was trying to spin the 2mil as “charitable contribution.”

No spin required, actual fact. After "Tish" got her 2 million win :lol:, the remainder of an almost $2 mil was donated by the Trump foundation.


"... The Attorney General's office stated that the $2 million in damages and the remaining $1.78 million that the foundation has will go to Army Emergency Relief, the Children’s Aid Society, Citymeals-on-Wheels, Give an Hour, Martha’s Table, United Negro College Fund, United Way of National Capital Area, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

In a statement, a Trump Foundation spokesperson said the foundation was "pleased to donate an additional $2 million" to those organizations.

"Following the 2016 presidential election, the Trump Foundation publicly announced its intention to voluntarily dissolve and distribute all of its remaining funds to charity," the statement said.

It continued: "Unfortunately, that donation was delayed due to the Attorney General’s politically motivated lawsuit. We are pleased that the Court, in rejecting the Attorney General’s frivolous request for statutory penalties, interest and other damages, recognized that every penny ever raised by the Trump Foundation has gone to help those most in need. Now that this matter is concluded, the Trump Foundation is proud to make this additional contribution."

Really? Usually the courts don’t get involved in “voluntary” contributions! You have a link where this was a contribution and not ordered by a court?


What part of “Trump ordered to pay..” are you having trouble with?

"Tish" had no control of the remaining $1.78 million (almost $2 mil) but included it in her statement because the money ($2 mil settlement plus $1.78 mil donation) was given to her office to distribute as she saw fit ... United Negro College Fund :lol:
