Donald Trump’s charitable foundation gave $100,000 in 2014 to a conservative activist group that was used to help finance a federal lawsuit against New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman — the same public official who was suing the real estate mogul for fraud over the operations of Trump University.
The size and timing of the donation to the Citizens United Foundation, an arm of the sprawling conservative network run by David Bossie, who is now Trump’s deputy campaign manager, could raise fresh questions about whether Trump has used his tax-exempt charity to further political and personal causes.A tax- exempt "charity" that helped finance a lawsuit against an AG suing Trump "University" for fraud? Hmmm. Is that how "charity" is defined for tax- exempt purposes?
A spokesperson for the New York AG's office responded to the revelation:
“If Donald Trump has proven anything over the past three years, it’s that he’ll do anything to pursue his bizarre but predictable vendetta against this office. … Funding a meritless lawsuit against this office would be nothing new for someone like Donald Trump, who has filed baseless ethics complaints, planted bogus stories, and tweeted a steady stream of incoherent insults just to make himself feel better for being exposed as the fraud he clearly is.” (our emphasis)Beyond the sleaze typically found with anything neo- fascist con artist Donald "Rump" Trump is associated with, just imagine what a President Rump would do to undermine or destroy his political enemies with all the power of the Executive Branch. Yet another reason why this is an existential election and why Rump's defeat is imperative.
