    NEW YORK — A New York judge ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to settle a lawsuit alleging he misused his charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.

    Judge Saliann Scarpulla also signed off on an agreement Thursday to close the Trump Foundation and distribute about $1.7 million in remaining funds to other nonprofit groups.

    A request for comment was emailed to Trump’s lawyer.

    New York’s attorney general filed a lawsuit last year alleging Trump and his family illegally operated the foundation as an extension of his businesses and his presidential campaign.

    Attorney General Letitia James had been seeking about $2.8 million in restitution from the president. Scarpulla cut that amount to $2 million.

    Foundation lawyers have previously said the lawsuit is politically motivated.

    "Mr. Trump admits to personally misusing funds at the Trump Foundation, and agrees to restrictions on future charitable service and ongoing reporting to the Office of the Attorney General in the event he creates a new charity. The settlements also include mandatory training requirements for Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump. Finally, the settlements name the charities that will receive the remaining assets of the Trump Foundation as part of its dissolution."

    Were the Clintons fined 2 mil and had their charity dissolved? I don't recall so please let me know what the penalty that was assessed.

    • $10,000 was spent on a portrait of the president, later found on display at a sports bar at the Trump Doral;

    • $100,000 was used to settle a legal dispute with the city of Palm Beach, which Trump resolved by contributing the amount to the Fisher House Foundation;

    • $258,000 was used to settle lawsuits against Trump and his businesses, including $158,000 to the Martin Greenberg Foundation, whose founder sued the Trump National Golf Club after it failed to pay him a promised $1 million for scoring a hole-in-one at a charity golf tournament;

    • $5,000 was used to advertise Trump Hotels.
    • The largest donation in the charity’s history — a $264,231 gift to the Central Park Conservancy in 1989 — appeared to benefit Trump’s business: It paid to restore a fountain outside Trump’s Plaza Hotel.

    • The smallest, a $7 foundation gift to the Boy Scouts that same year, appeared to benefit Trump’s family. It matched the amount required to enroll a boy in the Scouts the year that his son Donald Trump Jr. was 11.

    The attorney general’s investigation turned up evidence that Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump — all listed as officers of the charity — had never held a board meeting. The board hadn’t met since 1999. The charity’s official treasurer, Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg, told investigators that he wasn’t aware that he was on the board.

    That alone is his dis credit.
    He needs to get the lower teeth plaque removed and cut down his consumption of weed.

    The AG is the one lying and exaggerating about the actual contents of the written agreement, which she accepted because she had no case.

    All of NY government is Deep State to the core, a cesspool of disgusting thieves gorging themselves on taxpayers hard-earned money.

    Yes he does. I can't believe I still have to say this (especially after he took a 2 week vacation)...

    IT'S SHTICK.

    a performance artist. Look at some of other posters here, who are a little odd. They forgo the act once in a while though, where as he sticks by it
