In addition the remaining $1.8 million left in Donald's foundation will be distributed to 8 deserving charities.
Throughout the 2000s Donald used the charity to benefit himself. He used the charity's cash to buy a portrait of himself. He also used it to boost political campaigns like, Pamela Bondi’s Florida attorney general campaign, so she'd turn around & scratch his back. Then his own 2016 campaign.

Trump has paid $2 million in court-ordered damages for misusing funds in a tax-exempt charity he controlled, the New York attorney general said Tuesday.
The payment was ordered last month by a New York state judge in an extraordinary rebuke to a sitting president. Trump had been sued in 2018 by the New York attorney general, who alleged the president had illegally used funds from the Donald J. Trump Foundation to buy portraits of himself, pay off his businesses’ legal obligations and help his 2016 campaign.
In addition the remaining $1.8 million left in Donald's foundation will be distributed to 8 deserving charities.
“Funds have finally gone where they deserve — to eight credible charities,” James said in the statement. “My office will continue to fight for accountability because no one is above the law — not a businessman, not a candidate for office, and not even the president of the United States.”
Throughout the 2000s Donald used the charity to benefit himself. He used the charity's cash to buy a portrait of himself. He also used it to boost political campaigns like, Pamela Bondi’s Florida attorney general campaign, so she'd turn around & scratch his back. Then his own 2016 campaign.
