NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge has signed off on a deal to close President Donald Trump’s embattled charity and give about $1.7 million in remaining funds to other nonprofits.
Justice Saliann Scarpulla approved the deal Wednesday, triggering the start of a court-supervised process for putting the Trump Foundation out of business.
New York’s attorney general and lawyers for the Trump Foundation agreed to the plan Tuesday.
The sides will have 30 days to provide Scarpulla with a list of nonprofit organizations that should get the remaining funds.
Each charity will get the same amount. The attorney general’s office will have the right to reject ones it deems unfit.
Trump continues to fight a lawsuit alleging he misused his foundation’s assets to resolve business disputes and boost his White House run.
Good luck with that one, Donald.
May I recommend The Clinton Foundation? Out of a score of 100, they rate in the low 90’s. A very worthy organisation.
I’ve heard Trump family members are also banned from being on the Board of any nonprofits. Too bad the government doesn’t count. After all, if you can’t run a Foundation, you can’t run an entire government.
There is nothing charitable about Donald Trump. Not once in his life, to my knowledge, has he done anything purely out of kindness. Didn’t he steal a front row seat at a charity event he stiffed a few years back for publicity?
Meanwhile, the jillions of genuine worthy charities that have benefited from the generosity of the Trump Foundation are rushing to its defense, pleading with the court to allow it to continue operations.
I can hear them. You can too, amirite?
Karma, karma, karma…
