Misuse of Funds - I predict a Trump ranting tweet any minute now.

She has accused Mr Trump and family members of using it for private and political gain.

The case against them will continue.

Mrs Underwood said: "This is an important victory for the rule of law. 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 accountable for their clear and repeated violations of state and federal law."

Mr Trump has yet to comment.

Sounds like Projecting what they have been caught doing. Trump has to be doing it too.

Good, don't need any problems as the Clinton and Obama Foundations are in.


The comparison is, Trump distributes 90% of intake, 10% for administration
Clintons, distribute 10% and keep 90

I agree that an investgation in to other Foundations is long overdue, especially the Clinton Foundation which has been the subject of numerous allegations.

The same laws should be applied to all foundations, however I have to say it's not looking to rosy for Donald.

It's about time a liberal said that.

When do they intend to start similar proceedings again the Clinton foundation, Obama foundations etc.?

What, they're not going to?

I guess there are different sets of rules depending on whether you're a Republican or Democrat.

Somebody needs to notify Mrs. Underwood.....

From your link:

The move comes after a deal reached with the attorney general of New York State, Barbara Underwood, who will supervise the distribution of its remaining monies.

She has accused Mr Trump and family members of using it for private and political gain.

The case against them will continue.

Mrs Underwood said: "This is an important victory for the rule of law. There is one set of rules for everyone.

The clinton Foundation was not the only Foundation under the microscope.
The Trump Foundation was too. Watch and learn.
