    Among the many examples cited in the lawsuit:

    Trump used $158,000 to settle a lawsuit against his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Florida by an angry golfer who claimed he was owed money for hitting a hole-in-one during a tournament. (Under the terms of the settlement, the money went to a foundation that had been set up by the golfer, Martin Greenberg.)

    The same device was used in 2007 to settle a dispute between Mar-a-Lago and the town of Palm Beach over building permits and flagpole heights. In the settlement, the Trump Foundation agreed to donate $100,000 to a charity of Palm Beach’s choosing, which was an organization to help veterans.

    An additional $10,000 went to buy a 4-foot-tall painting of Trump from a children’s charity; it had been hung in the interior of a golf club in Miami, but has since been returned to the foundation.

    The foundation donated $25,000 in 2013 to an organization seeking the reelection of Florida’s Republican attorney general, Pam Bondi. At the time, Bondi was considering joining a lawsuit against Trump for allegedly defrauding students at his now-defunct Trump University. After the donation was made, she decided not to participate in the suit.

    It was during the presidential campaign in 2016 that the Trump Foundation became an invaluable political tool, used to boost Trump’s image at campaign rallies, where he was portrayed as a benevolent philanthropist.
    In this January 2016 file photo, Donald Trump, left, stages a check presentation to highlight a $100,000 contribution from the Donald J. Trump Foundation to the group Support Siouxland Soldiers during a campaign event in Sioux City, Iowa.

    Over and over at rallies in Iowa in the run-up to the caucuses there, Trump carried onto the stage enlarged mock-ups of checks that his foundation had purportedly written to local charities. The checks even had Trump’s campaign slogan (“Make America Great Again”) written along the bottom. Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign manager, directed which charities would receive the money.

    “When I raise money for the veterans, and it’s a massive amount of money, find out how much money Hillary Clinton’s given to the veterans,’’ Trump boasted after a 2016 Iowa fundraiser that had been organized by his campaign.

    The lawsuit against the Donald J. Trump Foundation also named three of his adult children, Donald, Ivanka and Eric, as defendants, although their alleged offenses were of omission, not commission. All three served as board members, although the lawsuit contends that the foundation hadn’t held a board meeting since 1999.
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"

    Trump created the charity because he knew that rich people do things like that. But Trump only thinks of himself, and he could not keep his hands off the money,. It was run by Ivanka, Jr. and Trump. This is just Trump being Trump. He does not care about others .

    "Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation — including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more," state AG Barbara Underwood said in a statement.

    "This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump's business and political interests."

    Only "reputable" charities, approved by a judge and the attorney general's office, will be able to receive funds from the soon-to-be-defunct charity, according to Underwood.

    "Today's stipulation accomplishes a key piece of the relief sought in our lawsuit earlier this year. Under the terms, the Trump Foundation can only dissolve under judicial supervision — and it can only distribute its remaining charitable assets to reputable organizations approved by my office," Underwood said in a statement.

    "This is an important victory for the rule of law, making clear that there is one set of rules for everyone. We'll continue to move our suit forward to ensure that the Trump Foundation and its directors are held to account for their clear and repeated violations of state and federal law."

    The Clinton Foundation was rated and it was rated very high. Their books were opened and it was checked out. The same charity rating agency did not check Trumps because they said it did not qualify as a charity. It was jsut a Trump slush fund cover up mechanism.

    Part of the deal, Ivanka, Individual 1 and Individual 1 Jr. are banned from being involved in charities for the future. What judge said. https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/18/polit...lve/index.html
