President Donald Trump has been ordered by a New York State judge to pay $2 million to a group of nonprofit organizations as part of a settlement in a civil lawsuit stemming from persistent violations of state charities laws.

The payment is the final resolution to a case brought by the New York attorney general's office after the Trump Foundation held a fundraiser for military veterans during the 2016 campaign.

The televised fundraiser took in nearly $3 million in donations that were dispersed on the eve of the Iowa caucuses as directed by then-campaign chief Corey Lewandowski.

The two million must be paid by President Trump himself for breaching his fiduciary duty to properly oversee the foundation that bears his name.

“... accused President Trump — along with his children, Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka — of conflating charity with politics, repeatedly using charitable donations for personal, political and business
gains, including legal settlements, campaign contributions and even to purchase a portrait of Trump to hang at one of his hotels..”

More media lies and an assault by a state judge against our President and our nation.

Is this a judgement or a settlement? If its the former it will probably get appealed. If its the latter, I cant see Trump settling unfavorably, so there must be more to it than is being reported.

Trump took in $18 million and paid out over $19 million and somehow he cheated some charities out of $2 million.

Where’s the investigation of the Clinton Foundation?

Yeah, the Haitian fundraiser by the Clinton Crime Family Trust needs investigating.

What does this mean, it's not fair that President Trump raised millions for the troops instead of the ACLU, teachers, and the homeless?

The judge is going to redistribute these funds to her preferred "non-profits?"

Is this some form of new math?

Would this be the same President Trump who donates his salary to the United States Treasury? That President Trump?

In Little Rock, under the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. They are working, not talking.
