NY AG Orders Trump Foundation To Stop Fundraising In NY

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman  has ordered that the Trump Foundation cease and desist from soliciting donations from anyone in New York state. This is a result of the revelations in the Washington Post that the Foundation had not filed the necessary paperwork to fundraise in New York. The action shows that Scheiderman’s office is taking their inquiry into the Trump Foundation seriously. And it is hard to say what other directions that investigation might lead them, but none of them are probably good for Trump, his businesses, and even his family. The self-dealing by the Foundation may start a line of inquiry that extends into Trump’s personal taxes that he is so desperate for the American people not to see. And there are already indications from the person who runs Eric Trump’s foundation that it may not be fully complying with the law.
