    Here is the official press release on the matter.

    Some snippets:

    Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood today announced a lawsuit against the Donald J. Trump Foundation, and its directors, Donald J. Trump (“Mr. Trump”), Donald J. Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump

    The Attorney General initiated a special proceeding to dissolve the Trump Foundation under court supervision and obtain restitution of $2.8 million and additional penalties.

    The Attorney General also sent referral letters today to the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission, identifying possible violations of federal law for further investigation and legal action by those federal agencies.

    In addition, at Mr. Trump’s behest, the Trump Foundation illegally provided extensive support to his 2016 presidential campaign by using the Trump Foundation’s name and funds it raised from the public to promote his campaign for presidency, including in the days before the Iowa nominating caucuses.

    seems highly illegal... how can our congress be so complicit on keeping an obvious criminal in office??

      Didn't Frank die because his actor had credible allegations of child-actor molestation surface?

        It was hard to tell how credible the allegations were given how the court of public opinion works.

            Not saying they weren't credible. Just that it annoys me how many people are satisfied that there are allegations, regardless of their credibility.

              Oh for sure. I'm not saying that allegations => absolute truth. It does heavily depend on the specifics of the individual allegations we're talking about (and I was totally willing to dig up a decent list of the big ones for this guy). The sheer number of them, in this case, also present a fairly damning character critique.

              It's probably a strong enough discussion topic to be its own, though. So I think I'll just go and make it.
