Crooked Tumper should be put away!
"Trump claimed that he personally
donated $1 million to veterans' charities. Subsequent reporting from The Post's David Fahrenthold could find no
corroboration for that claim. Over time, his reporting turned up more evidence
that the Trump Foundation was in violation of numerous laws. Fahrenthold won
a Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for his reporting on the foundation
and Trump's charitable contributions."
Underwood is a Democrat and is seeking millions of dollars in penalties. She wants Trump and his eldest children barred from running other charities.
EXPOSED!
THE REAL REASON SWAMP KEEPER TRUMP
DECLINED TO INVESTIGATE HILLARY CLINTON AND HER PHONY CHARITY SLUSH FUND
"But
what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of
the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power,
use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and
venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear
to every person on the planet by now."

“But if she shows any
sign of weakness, her cronies will begin to desert her, those she trampled on
and harmed will seek payback, and the authorities will at last stir themselves
to look into things. The current investigations will continue and expand.
Others will be opened. Clinton can look forward to an old age spent in
courthouses and committee rooms. She will end up as one of those Mafia dons
slumped in a wheelchair while the lawyers attempt to generate sympathy. And
that’s fine. She has earned the most Hellenic of punishments.”
Trump Foundation To
Dissolve Amid New York Attorney General's Investigation
Donald Trump
awards a $100,000 check to a veterans charity in Sioux City, Iowa, during a
2016 event. His use of the Trump Foundation during the campaign raised legal
questions about its activities.
New York Attorney
General Barbara Underwood has announced that the Trump Foundation will dissolve. The
foundation was established by Donald Trump well before he ran for president.
The
news comes as her office continues its investigation into various questions
about the foundation's conduct, including whether the foundation broke the law
by coordinating with Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and whether it was
truly functioning as a charitable organization.
Underwood said her office had
detailed "a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation
— including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated
and willful self-dealing, and much more. This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little
more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump's business and political
interests."
Underwood
said the foundation's decision to shutter was "an important victory for
the rule of law."
The
foundation agreed to dissolve under the supervision of a judge. Underwood's
office will supervise the disbursement of the foundation's remaining assets to
charities. The New York attorney general's office will continue its lawsuit
against the foundation and is seeking millions in restitution and penalties,
and it also seeks to bar Trump and his children from serving on the boards of
other New York charities.
In
late 2016, Trump said he wanted to dissolve the foundation but was prevented by
then-New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman as the investigation into the
charity continued.
Alan
S. Futerfas, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, issued a statement saying
"the Foundation has been seeking to dissolve and distribute its remaining
assets to worthwhile charitable causes since Donald J. Trump's victory in the
2016 Presidential election. Unfortunately, the NYAG sought to prevent
dissolution for almost two years, thereby depriving those most in need of
nearly $1.7 million."
The investigation was spurred by a
series of reports in The Washington Post about the foundation's
activities, which suggested the foundation did little, if any, actual
charitable giving and had a pattern of helping Trump's business and political
ambitions.
The
foundation was established in the 1980s but first drew intense scrutiny after a
January 2016 event in Iowa featuring then-candidate Trump. Trump had boycotted
a Republican presidential debate and held what he described as a fundraiser for
veterans instead. Several other GOP candidates also attended the event.
Trump claimed that he personally donated $1 million to veterans'
charities. Subsequent reporting from The Post's David Fahrenthold could
find no corroboration for that claim. Over time, his reporting turned up more
evidence that the Trump Foundation was in violation of numerous laws.
Fahrenthold won a Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for
his reporting on the foundation and Trump's charitable contributions.
Citizens
For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Executive Director Noah Bookbinder
said, "It is good to see this fraud is finally over." CREW had filed
complaints calling for investigations into the foundation.
Underwood sued the foundation in June,
saying it repeatedly solicited money from donors and then used it for campaign-related
purposes, violating federal election law. The money also was used to benefit
Trump's business interests by settling legal claims against it, for example,
Underwood said.
Underwood
also said that Trump's three oldest children — Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric —
had exercised no real control over the foundation's activities, despite being
nominal board members.
In
its most recent available filing with the IRS, in 2016 the foundation reported
$2,929,274 in revenue and $3,075,269 in expenses. Most of the foundation's
donations that year went to veterans groups, following a campaign promise made
by Trump while campaigning. The foundation also donated $25,000
to Florida
Attorney General Pam Bondi,
according to CREW, in an apparent effort to
dissuade her from investigating Trump University,
another now-shuttered Trump
venture.

N.Y. Attorney General: Trump Foundation Functioned As a Checkbook for Trump's Interests

(CNSNews.com) - Under pressure from the courts and the New York attorney general, the Trump Foundation has agreed to dissolve under judicial supervision.
Attorney General Barbara Underwood announced on Tuesday that the Foundation's remaining assets will be distributed to charities approved by her.
And the lawsuit filed by the AG isn't over. According to Underwood's announcement, the lawsuit -- which seeks millions in restitution and penalties and a bar on President Trump and his three eldest children from serving on the boards of other New York charities -- remains ongoing.
“Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation – including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more," Underwood said.
"This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests."
Under the terms of the stipulation (agreement), Underwood said, "The Trump Foundation can only dissolve under judicial supervision -- and it can distribute its remaining charitable assets to reputable organizations approved by my office.
“This is an important victory for the rule of law, making clear that there is one set of rules for everyone," she said. "We’ll continue to move our suit forward to ensure that the Trump Foundation and its directors are held to account for their clear and repeated violations of state and federal law.”
The agreement now awaits a judge's signature.
The announcement came around the same time that Michael Flynn, Trump’s former National Security Advisor, walked into federal court in Washington for his sentencing arising out of the Trump-Russia investigation.
The Trump Foundation was incorporated in 1987 in New York.
THE
PHONY CLINTON FOUNDATION CHARITY slush fund
“There
is no controlling Bill Clinton.
He does whatever he wants and runs up incredible expenses with foundation
funds,” states a separate interview memo attached to the submission.
“Bill
Clinton mixes and matches his personal business with that of the foundation.
Many people within the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he
does not listen, and there really is no talking to him,” the memo added.
HILLARY CLINTON: Serving
the super-rich and filling her bottomless pockets as she does!
"And this being
Hillary, with her stated presidential ambitions still remaining, it's also a
distinct possibility that donations to the Clinton Foundation are still being
sought, especially since they have dropped to nearly nothing now that Clinton
has no influence to sell. With Hillary, it's always about
money. Her stint as secretary of state was completely about pay
to play, after all." MONICA SHOWALTER – AMERICAN THINKER
Is it a signal that she's
back in the game because she's selling her president-ability to the world's
global billionaire crowd and laying the groundwork for more
funds? There are all kinds of ways for foreign billionaires to get
money to the U.S. without consequences, after all. What's more, it's
pretty much the biggest base of support she has, which is at least one reason
why she lost the 2016 election.

WHO IS TIGHTER WITH THE PLUNDERING BANKSTERS? CLINTON,

The Clinton White House
famously abolished the Glass–Steagall legislation, which separated commercial
and investment banking. The move was a boon for Wall Street firms and led to major bank mergers that some
analysts say helped contribute to the 2008 financial crisis.
Bill and Hillary Clinton
raked in massive speaking fees from Goldman Sachs, with CNN documenting a total of at least $7.7 million in paid speeches to big financial
firms, including Goldman Sachs and UBS. Hillary Clinton made $675,000 from
speeches to Goldman Sachs specifically, and her husband secured more than $1,550,000 from Goldman speeches. In 2005 alone, Bill Clinton collected over $500,000 from three Goldman Sachs events.
Trump Foundation reaches deal to dissolve amid lawsuit
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s charitable foundation has reached a deal to dissolve amid a legal battle with New York’s attorney general.
Attorney General Barbara Underwood and the foundation filed a joint stipulation with the court Tuesday laying out a process for shutting down the charity and distributing remaining assets to other nonprofit groups.
New York filed a lawsuit last spring accusing the foundation of operating like an extension of Trump’s businesses and political campaign. That suit will continue.
Lawyers for the foundation say any infractions were minor. They say they have been trying to shut down the foundation voluntarily for months.
A judge must still sign off on the agreement.
Underwood is a Democrat and is seeking millions of dollars in penalties. She wants Trump and his eldest children barred from running other charities.

Gary Cohn: ‘I Am a Globalist — I Believe We Live in a Globalized World’
0:54
Former President Donald Trump economic adviser and former Goldman Sachs COO Gary Cohn, when asked Tuesday on CBS’s “This Morning” about Trump calling him a “globalist” and if it was an anti-Semitic remark, proudly proclaimed himself as a globalist.
“I’m absolutely not offended by the term ‘globalist’ as I am a globalist,” Cohn stated. “I believe we live in a globalized world. I think the United States is an integral part of a globalized world. And we have to figure out how to live as a good citizen in a globalized earth — so do the Chinese, so do the Russians, so do the Middle Eastern countries.”
“We are globalized. We cannot change that fact,” he concluded.
