quote:
The New York attorney general on Thursday filed suit against President Trump and his three eldest children alleging “persistently illegal conduct” at the president’s personal charity, saying Trump repeatedly misused the nonprofit — to pay off his businesses’ creditors, to decorate one of his golf clubs and to stage a multimillion dollar giveaway at his 2016 campaign events.

In the suit, filed Thursday morning, attorney general Barbara Underwood asked a state judge to dissolve the Donald J. Trump Foundation. She asked that its remaining $1 million in assets be distributed to other charities and that Trump be forced to pay at least $2.8 million in restitution and penalties.

Underwood also asks that Trump be banned from leading any other New York nonprofit for 10 years — seeking to apply a penalty usually reserved for the operators of small-time charity frauds to the president of the United States.

In the suit, Underwood noted that Trump had already paid more than $330,000 in reimbursements and penalty taxes since 2016. New York state began probing the Trump Foundation in response to an investigation by The Washington Post.

If I recall correctly, the foundation reported giving to something like 500 different entities, and the journalist contacted every single one and found only one that has received anything.

Oh Doc....this one is really in my wheelhouse. Trust me when I tell you not to attach yourself to this. Your first hint the author has no clue is they called it Trump's "personal charity". That isn't how a private foundation works at all. Additionally, the attorney general isn't involved because there is ANY criminal act being alleged. The AG is involved on behalf of the state's charities. The allegations are very weak. And they come out the same day as the IG report. Doc...bud....trust me on this. You don't want to hitch to this wagon. It is a loser.
