Donald Trump’s charity acted more like a checkbook for his campaign, according to the New York Attorney general.
The Attorney general announced an agreement yesterday with the President’s attorney to dissolve the controversial Trump Foundation.
Barbara Underwood blasted, what she called ‘a shocking pattern of illegality.’
She urges that the foundation used to help the president politically.
Candidate Trump gave out donations to veterans before the Iowa Caucuses.
A Washington Post investigation revealed that other donations had benefited Trump.
Its biggest one ever helped was to restore a fountain outside a Trump Hotel in 1989.
The smallest, $7 to the Boy Scouts of America, was exactly the enrollment fee, the year Donald Trump jr. was 11.
$10,000 was spent on a Trump portrait that became a punch line for political opponents.
Yesterday, the attorney for the Trump Organization defended the foundation and the 19 million dollars, he says, distributed to more than 700 charities.
The statement accusing the New York attorney general, a Democrat, of an attempt to politicize the agreement and pointing out the Foundation’s been trying to dissolve ever since Donald Trump won the 2016 election, something New York State prevented as it pursued its investigation.”
So the remaining money in the foundation would be distributed only to charities the state deems reputable.
