NY Attorney General sends cease and desist order to Trump Foundation
This story is developing. Please check back for further updates.
Click here for the latest on the markets. Update:
The New York Attorney Generals office served the Donald J. Trump Foundation with a cease and desist order on Monday, ordering it to stop soliciting funds because it does not have the proper certification. While we remain very concerned about the political motives behind AG Schneidermans investigation, the Trump Foundation nevertheless intends to cooperate fully with the investigation. Because this is an ongoing legal matter, the Trump Foundation will not comment further at this time, said Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks in a statement.
Great....can they get Hillary to stop shaking down foreign governments to line her personal piggy bank?
Trump walked into the Hillary buzz saw and it’s chewing him to pieces. He wasn’t ready.
Has this puke sent one to the Clinton Foundation?
TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
I was told Trump would be bulletproof to the attack barrage Hillary would throw at him. Not so much. And if his return fire continues to be Bill’s affairs, the ship is sunk.
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both;
But the Clinton foundation can take bribes from a country that gave us 911.
This is like the indictment of Perry in Texas. They are getting very bold.
And they’re going to investigate Hillary when?
I’m sending Schneiderman my “cease and desist” from living order. He will turn out to be just as corrupt as his predecessors. The guys in jail are just waiting for his butt.
was the dallas kid’s team that knelt during the anthem NY value on display?
or the BIG BEAUTIFUL mosque opening in Texas?
or the tearing down of historical and important confederate monuments and flags NY values? Amazing how EASY it was to do. Nobody even fought back.
So take your comment and shove it up your a@@
This will be seen for what it is. It will hurt her.

Quit the nonstop voting for demonicRATs, New Yorkers. You brought the butthurt on yourselves.
Put this guy on the list for prosecution after the election. Sadly, he is nowhere near the top. He has plenty of competition for ahead of him that is not just political dirty dealing but treasonous dirty dealing that puts the security of this country at risk.
What a toolbag. The only people losing here are the vets.
But Schneidernan loves his dirt rat tricks.
Scheiderman is el primo example of a rat who abuses his office solely to further a political agenda. This guy is constantly on Trumps arse about everytyhing yet he does absolutely NOTHING about the Clinton criminal cabal even though the Clintons are based in New York and New York city. I mean look at this - He’s closing down Trumps foundation because of a freakin’ license. Well what about the Clinton foundation that has absolutely NOTHING to do with charity and EVERYTHING to do with making the Clintons money? It’s a SCAM!
Another way to look at it is if you are a left-wing statist you should be careful about claiming unlimited executive and judicial privilege.
That same power could come back to haunt you if it goes to your opponents when you lose an election. It falls under the category of the ancient Chinese proverb “be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.”
I find it odd that the Trump Foundation is based in New York, but this Wiki Link says its never been registered in New York.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_J._Trump_Foundation
In the early 2000s, the Trump Foundation started soliciting outside donations. However, it had never applied for or received licensing to solicit such donations in New York. Tax filings show that, in each of the last 10 years, the Trump Foundation raised more than $25,000 from outsiders without proper registration. Records show that at least some of these donations were actively solicited from New York-based donors. The lack of registration may have allowed the foundation to avoid New York State audit requirements. Trump may also be required by law to return all donations.
On October 3, 2016, the New York State Attorney General's office issued a "notice of violation" to the Foundation and ordered it to immediately cease its fundraising activities in New York. The AG's Office found that the Foundation broke laws by raising funds from donors outside the state without registering properly. In New York, state regulations "require nonprofits raising more than $25,000 a year in New York to register and file audited financial statements and annual financial reports to the attorney general’s charities bureau," which the Trump Foundation failed to do.
Meanwhile FEC winks at the Clinton campaign collecting from foreign entities.
