Order: New York AG ask Trump foundation to stop raising money

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/04/us/politics/trump-foundation-money.html?_r=0

The office of New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman has issued a “notice of violation” to Donald J. Trump’s foundation, ordering it to immediately stop soliciting donations in New York.

The letter, which was sent on Friday and released on Monday morning by Mr. Schneiderman’s office, said that its charities bureau had determined that the Donald J. Trump Foundation had been fund-raising in New York this year when it was not registered to do so under state law.

“The Trump Foundation must immediately cease soliciting contributions or engaging in any other fund-raising activities in New York,” wrote James Sheehan, the chief of the charities bureau.

Mr. Trump’s foundation has come under increasing scrutiny amid questions about his fulfillment of large charitable pledges and his lack of financial support in recent years.

It is inconceivable to me that the Clinton campaign hasn't prepared a response to any accusations or allegations about the Clinton's foundation. They'll probably open their books and tax documents to show that they're legit.

Hillary Clinton's got this.
