Trump pays $2 million in damages ordered by judge over misuse of charity funds, according to NY attorney general

Swindler-in-Chief Donald Trump.

President Trump has paid $2 million in court-ordered damages for misusing funds in a tax-exempt charity he controlled, the New York attorney general said Tuesday. The payment was ordered last month by a New York state judge in an extraordinary rebuke to a sitting president. Trump had been sued in 2018 by the New York attorney general, who alleged the president had illegally used funds from the Donald J. Trump Foundation to buy portraits of himself, pay off his businesses’ legal obligations and help his 2016 campaign. The money was split among eight charities, according to a statement from New York Attorney General Letitia James. “Funds have finally gone where they deserve — to eight credible charities,” James said in the statement. “My office will continue to fight for accountability because no one is above the law — not a businessman, not a candidate for office, and not even the president of the United States.”

In the 2000s, Trump began to use the charity in ways that benefited himself or his businesses, according to the attorney general’s lawsuit. He used the charity’s cash to buy paintings of himself and sports memorabilia and to pay $258,000 in legal settlements for his for-profit clubs. Trump also used the charity to boost political campaigns — first, Pamela Bondi’s Florida attorney general campaign, and then his own 2016 campaign. Trump gave away Trump Foundation checks onstage at rallies, despite strict rules barring nonprofit charities from participating in political campaigns. Now, the foundation will be shuttered. The consequences of this case will linger for Trump. Under the terms of the settlement, he has agreed to special supervision if he ever returns to charity work in New York.

Ah yes. The infamous Donald J. Trump Foundation. President Trump's slush-fund and cookie-jar. Now bankrupt and shuttered by court order.

And let us not forget this disgusting Trump family caper from 2017.....

Republicans want us to believe this is the man telling the truth as they attack a plethora of career public servants and destroy their careers.
 
I've seen about every die hard Trumper here at DP argue that Trump was actually in the right here and had to pay out damages for doing the right thing.

Well, a racketeer gotta do what a racketeer does. Trump is not only the worst president in US history, he's the most corrupt. The Trump Foundation was working as their personal slush fund for more than a decade!

When has a sitting President been required to pay a $2M fine?
 
This is what they mean when they say "drain the swamp".

Anyone who tries to stop corruption is the swamp to them.

They dont want their chosen one(s) to have to deal with regulations, laws and oversight.

They want pure unadulterated greed to take hold here is the US.

They have to argue that as fact, otherwise their tin god tarnishes.
Can't have that.

Sure, right. Absolutely, because that would make Trump less guilty of this.
Oh wait...

You mean Trump is following the law and not abusing his power?

More proof Rex Tillerson was right about Trump. If Trump had been smart like the Clintons, he would have gotten away with it.

The Clintons are much smarter than the Trumps. They've gotten away with all sorts of things simply because either they know where the lines of legality are drawn (not ethics, of course) and/or they simply cover their tracks a lot better.
