Donald J. Trump’s foundation has stopped accepting donations in New York to comply with a cease and desist letter issued two weeks ago over its failure to properly register as a charity under state law, according to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

The Republican presidential candidate’s namesake nonprofit organization confirmed to the attorney general that it halted fundraising in the state as part of receiving an extension for turning over delinquent financial reports, Doug Cohen, a spokesman for Schneiderman, said in an e-mail on Monday.

Schneiderman, a Democrat and an outspoken critic of the billionaire, has said the Trump Foundation was violating New York laws that require charities to register with a state oversight agency and submit yearly audited financial statements. The foundation solicited contributions in New York this year despite failing to register, the attorney general said.

Alan Garten, general counsel for the New York-based Trump Organization, didn’t immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment Monday.
