Trump’s “charity” foundation is breaking state laws in New York. The state attorney general has issued a notice of violation to the Trump Foundation.
Since 2008, the Trump Foundation has relied on donations from others. Trump gave his last donation in 2008. This year, they amped up the fundraising by setting up donaldtrumpforvets.com to solicit donations that would go to veterans’ groups.
The foundation hasn’t registered properly with the state of New York. The state requires that charities soliciting more than $25,000 per year carry an additional registration.
James Sheehan, head of the attorney general’s charities bureau, said this in the violation notice:
“The Trump Foundation must immediately cease soliciting contributions or engaging in any other fundraising activities in New York.”
A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, Hope Hicks, said:
“While we remain very concerned about the political motives behind AG Schneiderman’s investigation, the Trump Foundation nevertheless intends to cooperate fully with the investigation. Because this is an ongoing legal matter, the Trump Foundation will not comment further at this time.”
The Trump Foundation is not exactly squeaky clean. Last month it was revealed that Trump used money from the foundation to buy a fancy portrait of himself in 2007.

The Trump Foundation has this going on, but the Republicans keep trying to find something wrong with the Clinton Foundation.
Last month, Trump accused the Clintons of things such as:
“In one deal, Hillary Clinton set aside environmental and labor rules to help a South Korean company with a record of violating workers’ rights set up what amounts to a sweat shop in Haiti.”
Bill Clinton fired back with:
“I think that’s because he knew they were about to report that he used his foundation to give money to your attorney general.”
Trump is like a whining child on the playground. Someone says something (true) about Trump, so he goes after the Clintons. He needs to get his sh*t together.
