Trump Faces Threat in New York Lawsuit Even After Charity Closes
Link to tweet
#BREAKING: Weve secured a stipulation requiring the Trump Foundation to dissolve under judicial supervision, with our review of recipient charities.
U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to shut down his embattled personal charity and donate its assets under an agreement with the New York attorney general, who alleged that the nonprofit squandered funds on political and business purposes.
The Donald J. Trump Foundation and New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood agreed to dissolve the foundation and give away its remaining $1.7 million, according to filings Tuesday in state court in Manhattan. Trumps charity announced in 2016 that it would dissolve, before Underwood sued it, Trump and his three eldest children; the state blocked that plan until it could establish oversight of the closure.
But threats remain. The charitys dissolution doesnt end the pending lawsuit against the president and Ivanka, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., who could be barred from serving as directors of any New York nonprofit for a period. And unless an appeals court blocks the attorney general, the process of uncovering evidence in the suit may allow the states lawyers to reach into the Trump familys financial dealings, where some of the presidents critics believe there will be evidence of improprieties.
