NY sues Trump Foundation over self-dealing funds

The New York State attorney general’s office filed a scathingly worded lawsuit on Thursday taking aim at the Donald J. Trump Foundation, accusing the charity and the Trump family of sweeping violations of campaign finance laws, self-dealing and illegal coordination with the presidential campaign.

The lawsuit, which seeks to dissolve the foundation and bar President Trump and three of his children from serving on nonprofit organizations, was an extraordinary rebuke of a sitting president. The attorney general also sent referral letters to the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission for possible further action, adding to Mr. Trump’s extensive legal challenges.



And the shit just keeps on piling up for Trumpie and gang of greedy stooges. I especially like the part about how he spent ten grand of this charity's fund on a portrait of himself for one of his golf clubs.

Yes, and just to be clear for anyone that doesn't understand the term, "Self Dealing" is when the money from a charity instead of going to charitable causes is spent for one's own benefit.

Trump used his charity like a personal piggy bank. The Trump Foundation has even admitted to this.

I wouldn't be surprised if not too far from now, the word "trump" is added to all English dictionaries as a synonym for to cheat and to rip-off.

Didn't Eric do the same thing - I think it was when he was pretending to raise money for St. Jude's, but it went to himself instead?
