Mainecat Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Really? You piece of shit. Trump Fined $2 Million For Diverting Money From Vets Fundraiser to His Campaign Benjamin Hart 11/7/2019 A judge ordered President Trump to pay $2 million to a group of charities on Thursday, ruling that the president had broken the law by directing the proceeds from an event advertised as benefiting veterans to his presidential campaign instead. The lawsuit stems from the wild days of the 2016 Republican primary. Because of a feud he maintained with Fox News at the time, Trump decided to skip a debate hosted by the network just before the Iowa caucuses in January 2016, and hold his own, competing event instead — a televised fundraiser for veterans. Shockingly enough, it turned out the event wasn’t quite on the level. Rather than having the foundation run the event and direct all proceeds to the charities, as promised, Trump did something quite different. As New York State Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla put it in her decision on Thursday: “Mr. Trump’s fiduciary duty breaches included allowing his campaign to orchestrate the Fundraiser, allowing his campaign, instead of the Foundation, to direct distribution of the Funds, and using the Fundraiser and distribution of the Funds to further Mr. Trump’s political campaign.” The lawsuit was brought by New York State attorney general Barbara Underwood, who announced last year that the Trump Organization would shut down amid her investigations into its well-documented chicanery. Though Trump had said on Twitter that he would fight the fundraiser case, his lawyers and the state have been in talks for months to negotiate a settlement. It’s a loss for Trump, but $2 million is a minor blow in his universe — and the judge could have been harsher. She decided not to impose any punitive damages on the president, nor impose lifetime bans on him and his children from serving on the boards of New York–based charities in the future, conditions the state had been seeking. (Though she did put into place other restrictions involving his future charitable endeavors.) https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-fined-dollar2-million-for-diverting-money-from-vets-fundraiser-to-his-campaign/ar-BBWqP3w?ocid=sf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The story is misleading (shocker right). The money was all given to charity. The fine is for tying politics in with the charity. The campaign has to be kept separate from all charitable fundraising. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 For those that won't go to the link However, neither Trump, nor his children Ivanka and Eric, nor his foundation, were found to have "stolen" or kept any of the donations, and so none of them "admitted to" any such actions. The New York Supreme Court explicitly acknowledged that all the funds raised for veterans groups had ultimately reached veterans groups. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkevsdi Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Trump is such a boyscout “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. This pattern of illegal conduct by the Foundation and its board members includes improper and extensive political activity, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions, and failure to follow basic fiduciary obligations or to implement even elementary corporate formalities required by law.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
