    Default Washington Times: Judge orders Trump to pay $2M for charity foundation crimes

    Judge orders Trump to pay $2M for charity foundation misuse

    By - Associated Press - Thursday, November 7, 2019
    NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge on Thursday ordered President Trump to pay $2 million to an array of charities to resolve a lawsuit alleging he misused his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.
    Judge Saliann Scarpulla said Trump breached his fiduciary duty to the Trump Foundation by allowing his campaign staff to plan a fundraiser for veterans’ charities in the run-up to the 2016 Iowa caucuses.
    The event, which passed money through Trump’s non-profit, was designed “to further Mr. Trump’s political campaign,” Scarpulla said.
    The judge also signed off on agreements reached last month between Trump’s lawyers and the New York attorney general’s office to close the Trump Foundation and distribute about $1.7 million in remaining funds to other nonprofits. In the agreements, Trump admitted to personally misusing Trump Foundation funds and agreed to pay back $11,525 in the organization’s funds he spent on sports memorabilia and champagne at a charity gala. He also agreed to restrictions on his involvement in other charitable organizations.

    New York Attorney General Letitia James heralded the resolution of the case as a “major victory in our efforts to protect charitable assets and hold accountable those who would abuse charities for personal gain.”
    “No one is above the law — not a businessman, not a candidate for office, and not even the President of the United States,” said James.

    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    Trump denies it all saying it was "perfect". They had a court case and he admitted to misusing the funds for his campaign. Now he says the opposite and rightys will believe,

    With that mustache, and maybe if Trump lost some weight, he would look just like the Fuhrer; could it be that Trump is the reincarnation of Hitler???

    CNN reported in January 2018 that the FBI is investigating allegations of corruption at the Clinton Foundation in Arkansas. Sources said that federal prosecutors are checking to see if foundation donors were improperly promised policy favors or special access to Hillary Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state in return for donations, and whether tax-exempt funds were misused by the foundation's leadership.

    Were the Clinton's indicted, arrested and found guilty? If not, this is a Nothing Burger. Sorry Trump dick sucker.

    I love how Trumpf boot-lickers no longer even try to credibly deny their hero and soul-mate is a scum bag , a pathological liar, an arrogant dim wit

    The only ammunition they have left is "what about Biden?" and other flaccid attempts at whataboutism.

    Numerous trump supporters have posted here that he never committed any crimes. I bet they'll all skip commenting on this thread.
