President blasts Trump Foundation lawsuit

Source: The Hill



BY JORDAN FABIAN - 06/14/18 11:26 AM EDT

President Trump on Thursday blasted a new lawsuit alleging that his personal charity engaged in a pattern of illegal activity over the past decade, including unlawful coordination with his 2016 presidential campaign.

In a series of tweets, Trump took aim at former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who resigned last month after being accused of assaulting women. Schneiderman’s successor, Barbara Underwood, brought the case against Trump on Thursday.

“The sleazy New York Democrats, and their now disgraced (and run out of town) A.G. Eric Schneiderman, are doing everything they can to sue me on a foundation that took in $18,800,000 and gave out to charity more money than it took in, $19,200,000,” Trump wrote. “I won’t settle this case!”

"...which lingered in their office for almost 2 years. Now he resigned his office in disgrace, and his disciples brought it when we would not settle."

In other words, the reason it has taken so long is that they've been slow-walking settlement discussions.

Segment about corrupt 'foundation'. Shows excerpt from email from Lewandowski to Weisselberg about disbursements.

On the document is an 'Exhibit' stamp and the text:

Has sure been and is still corrupt as hell, and they found nothing from investigating Hillary and Bill;s foundation. That's why he's attacking all law enforcement agencies because that's what criminals do when they know they're guilty. He should be held to the highest level finding everything he's done, or the corruption will get much worse, and he'll weaponize our DOJ for himself. He's a crook, a lot worse than Nixon too. He needs to resign.

It's my understanding Pam Bondi received a $25k "donation" to her Florida AG campaign to get her to drop investigation into Trump University. Did the same thing in Texas. Nothing filed from either office. Wonder if there is some correlation?

That is the general consensus. Trump buys whatever he wants, often using other people's money through his so-called foundation.
