President Trump has agreed to shut down his embattled personal charity and to give away its remaining money amid allegations that he used the foundation for his personal and political benefit, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood announced Tuesday.

Underwood said that the Donald J. Trump Foundation is dissolving as her office pursues its lawsuit against the charity, Trump and his three eldest children.

The suit, filed in June, alleged “persistently illegal conduct” at the foundation and sought to have it shut down. Underwood is continuing to seek more than $2.8 million in restitution and has asked a judge to ban the Trumps temporarily from serving on the boards of other New York nonprofit organizations.

Does he honestly think that is going to make the lawsuit just disappear?

LOL! Those were the exact words I was thinking and it’s quite likely he thinks that’s way. He’s so ignorant about how the law works that he’s probably thinks that fixes it all!

Typical.
He’s never thought about the legalities involved in his business dealings .
He’s being sued for neglecting to pay workers for past jobs, for one thing. He has declared bankruptcy several times. He has “borrowed “ funds from sketchy foreign sources.
Etc.
🙄

And if anyone hasn’t yet figured out how Trump has conducted business his whole life, well there’s no hope for you. Anyone who supports this type of behavior is no better than him.

Stealing from charities. A new low even for Trump.

The Trump Foundation functioned as little more than a checkbook to serve Trump’s business and political interests, states the AG from NY.

Trump has always thought he could do whatever he wanted and when and if he got caught, his attornies will take care of it. So the “charity” foundation was closed down as a scam. And Trump’s base of idiots will continue to cry about deep states and conspiracies.
