The New York Attorney General has sued Donald Trump, the Trump Foundation, Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump on the grounds that they took advantage of their positions within the Trump Foundation, and acted in their own interests instead of the charity’s’.
In the suit filed on Thursday, New York Attorney General, Barbara Underwood argues that the president and his children have been acting illegally to push forward their political careers.
By so doing they violated New York State law for more than a decade within a charity already fraught with controversy.
“For more than a decade, the Donald J. Trump Foundation has operated in persistent violation of state and federal law governing New York State Charities,” the lawsuit reads.
“This pattern of illegal conduct by the Foundation and its board members includes improper and extensive political activity, repeated and wilful self-dealing transactions, and failure to follow basic fiduciary obligations or to implement even elementary corporate formalities required by law.”
