US judge orders Trump to pay $2 million for charity foundation misuse
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA New York judge has ordered US President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to settle a lawsuit alleging he misused his charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.
Judge Saliann Scarpulla also signs off on an agreement to close the Trump Foundation and distribute about $1.7 million in remaining funds to other nonprofit groups.
A request for comment has been emailed to Trump’s lawyer.
New York’s attorney general filed a lawsuit last year alleging Trump and his family illegally operated the foundation as an extension of his businesses and his presidential campaign.
Attorney General Letitia James had been seeking about $2.8 million in restitution from the president. Scarpulla cut that amount to $2 million.
