Eric Trump's Old Foundation Apparently Held Secret Event At Trump-Owned Golf Club

The charity formerly known as the Eric Trump Foundation apparently held a secret event at Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County, New York on Monday, even though the Eric Trump Foundation remains under investigation by the office of the New York state attorney general.

The charity, which was renamed Curetivity, is legally allowed to raise money as the investigation continues. But its choice of venue seemed to be an act of defiance. Eric Trump had previously falsely stated that his charity got to use his family’s assets “100% free of charge,” but a June story in Forbes magazine debunked that claim and sparked a state investigation into the organization.

For years, the Eric Trump Foundation promised donors that its money would go to the cancer hospital. And it did indeed raise more than $11 million for St. Jude. But it also sent more than $500,000 to about 40 other charities. “Relevant donors whose money was given to causes other than St. Jude were made aware the funds would be donated elsewhere,” a foundation spokesperson wrote in a June email to Forbes.

Seriously, not since the Palins has there been a political family so determined to grift everything they can from the process.

Was Ivana Trump a practicing alcoholic during her pregnancies? Those kids' eyes just don't look 'right'.

We all know Eric is getting ready to split the country. How else can he get his under-the-table stake money?

I'm almost willing to look the other way, if it means he's leaving and never coming back.

Just sayin'
