This time its against President Trump, his Charitable Foundation, his two sons, Eric and Trump Jr. and his daughter Ivanka. The suit seeks $2.8 million in restitution, additional unspecified penalties and the dissolution of the foundation, all according to the Associated Press. The suit accuses Trump of illegally using the charity's money to settle disputes involving his business empire and to boost his political fortunes during his run for the White House.
The suit also accused the charitable foundation of: improper and extensive political activity, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions, and failure to follow basic fiduciary obligations. The attorney general's office also referred the findings to the IRS and FEC for possible further action. In light of this suit the people should be reminded that Trump as President settled another civil law suit brought against him and Trump University. That suit was settled in March of 2017 while Trump was President, even all along he said he would never settle the law suit. The trumpet man is also on record as saying when someone settles out of court that means they are guilty. The Trump University lawsuit and settlement applied to 3 separate law suits, two class-actions and a fraud case.
President Donald Trump is in deep trouble because of his corrupt attitude and now has another suit to contend with. And this one is civil where he has no pardon powers. He and his attack dog Rudy Giuliani will continue their rhetoric against the special prosecutor's investigation and the new suit by New York attorney general in their ongoing effort to destroy the rule of law.
Seventeen months in office and the White House is still seeking a President who can return honor, dignity and respect to a place that has been a beacon to the United States and the world.
