TIL Desk/World/Washington/ New York State on Thursday filed a lawsuit against the Donald J Trump Foundation and its board of directors, including President Donald Trump and his family members, alleging persistent ‘illegal conduct’ for more than a decade. President Trump reacted sharply to the lawsuit and asserted that he would ‘not settle’ the case, and accused the Opposition Democrats of continuing with their ‘witch hunt’ against him.
The lawsuit alleges a pattern of persistent ‘illegal conduct’, occurring over more than a decade, that includes extensive unlawful political coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions to benefit Trump’s personal and business interests, and violations of basic legal obligations for non-profit foundations. Simultaneously, New York State Attorney General Barbara D Underwood initiated a special proceeding to dissolve the Trump Foundation under court supervision and obtain restitution of $2.8 million and additional penalties. Trump took to Twitter to respond to the announcement of the lawsuit.
‘The sleazy New York Democrats, and their now disgraced (and run out of town) A G Eric Schneiderman, are doing everything they can to sue me on a foundation that took in $18,800,000 and gave out to charity more money than it took in, $19,200,000. I won’t settle this case!…’.. Schneiderman, who ran the Clinton campaign in New York, never had the guts to bring this ridiculous case, which lingered in their office for almost 2 years. Now he resigned his office in disgrace, and his disciples brought it when we would not settle,’ he tweeted.
