President Donald Trump was ordered by a New York judge to pay $US2 million in restitution after he admitted to using his charitable foundation to raise money for political purposes during the 2016 campaign.

The Trump Foundation held a televised fundraiser in Iowa to raise money that was ultimately distributed by the campaign for political purposes, instead of by the charity.The restitution is based on New York's claim that the Trump Foundation held a televised fundraiser in Iowa to raise money that was ultimately distributed by the campaign for political purposes, instead of by the charity.

The law offices of Alan Futerfas, which represents the Trump family in the case, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump also agreed to reimburse $US11,525 to the foundation for its use of charity money to buy items at a charitable auction, according to the ruling.

Eileencj15 The News has not reported that. None of them.

These legal types are a joke. Time to return to the gutter that spawned them. They are vering on illiteracy.

FAKE NEWS....

Good luck seeing that money ever

Disgraceful but not surprising.

Think they are decorating a suite at Rikers island for this crook.

Reopen Alcatraz and put Trump there by himself

Isn't that fraud?

To think our PM admires this thing.

The trickle prior to the impending deluge of court cases, impeachment & compensation claims. Karma will catch up soon. realDonaldTrump

I’ll bet that won’t happen and one Judge will be looking for a new job.

He's a millionaire So these fines do not affect his finances

Trump jnr exposes identity of officer who prompted impeachment inquiryIn a statement issued after Trump jnr's tweet, the whistleblower's attorneys warned that 'identifying any suspected name for the whistleblower will place that individual and their family at risk of serious harm'. Once again fake news. The identity is already known and published by other “news” outlets like yourselves. It's like a Mafia family :) I suppose that is all they can say. If the whistleblower was someone else they would confirm that, whilst not identifying him. Otherwise the lawyers would be allowing an innocent person and their family at risk of serious harm.

Public hearings in Trump impeachment probe to start next weekThe first open hearings in the impeachment inquiry into US President Donald Trump are set for next week, the congressman overseeing the process said, as the investigation heads into a much-anticipated public phase. Open hearings? Gee, that's nice and fair of the Democrats. Nevermind the fact that they've denied Trump the right to have counsel present, the right to cross-examine, to access alleged evidence, or to subpoena his own witnesses. And they've *still* uncovered nothing worthwhile. Where’s the whistleblower?! 🤷🏻‍♂️ DefundSBS
