President Donald Trump used his personal charity to benefit his 2016 presidential campaign in violation of the law and is now subject to massive fines, according to New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Bloomberg News reports that James made the allegation and recommendation in court papers filed late Thursday.
Because of those violations, James wants Trump himself to pay some $5.6 million in restitution for the myriad violations alleged. The Associated Press reports that James is also seeking an additional $2.8 million in restitution from the 45th president.
According to James, the Trump Foundation failed to meet as a corporate board, failed to conduct any cognizable oversight regarding the grants issued and also failed to implement any sort of policy which might have protected the charitys funds from being abused.

Russian money supported the show The Apprentice, which gave the illusion that he was a billionaire businessman.

(34,661 posts)and it ties into this case. Is there any evidence that Trump paid the 25 million Judgement filed against him for his University Scam.
Watch for Tuesday,Painter and Companies Emoluments Appeal to be heard. Trump is challenging this case. Will be interesting,could this be why Donnie of little Smarts is so pissed off this weekend.
