A New York state judge orders US President Donald Trump to pay $US2 million for misusing his namesake charitable foundation, resulting in funds being used to advance his 2016 presidential campaign.

Ms Underwood had filed suit after a 21-month probe that she said uncovered,"extensive unlawful political coordination" between the Trump Foundation and Mr Trump's campaign.

"Mr Trump's fiduciary duty breaches included allowing his campaign to orchestrate the fundraiser, allowing his campaign, instead of the foundation, to direct distribution of the funds, and using the fundraiser and distribution of the funds to further Mr Trump's political campaign," she wrote.

ABC avoiding the details to drive people right again

The extent of ABC fake news knows no boundaries. The Trump foundation gives over 100% of its fundraising to charities. Compare that to the Clinton Foundations 5% which does not include the monies stolen from Haiti

Here's what TheirABC won't tell you … 'A Trump fundraiser raised $2.8 million, which was all given to veterans charities. Liberals decided that these funds counted as campaign contributions (zero percent of which went to the Trump campaign)'

What the The only president in the last 40 years that has gone backwards on there wealth PLEASE

Jeffrey Epstein was a free man during the time inexplicably killed Robach's exposé attempt. This means they knew he was out there raping countless children, had the power to stop it, and DELIBERATELY CHOSE NOT TO. They literally sanctioned child rape. RealNews

Most charitable potus ever?

Democrat Judge look a little closer than the ABC propaganda

How about the millions he donated

.... did the ghost water $80 million get paid back yet ...?

Would you expect any less from this fool? I'm amazed that the very people who voted for him are the very people who get shafted by his politics

So he has to pay out again as much as was paid out anyway because he may have come off as looking good because he rather than the charity was seen to be giving the money to the people that it was intended to be given to. Technically, but not materially speaking orange man bad. 🙄

not surprised in this at all

Shocked.....not at all

The best $US2 million dollars ever spent Deplorable', and right at the end, at the very bottom, (which most won't see), in the ABC's article it said, 'Ultimately the money wen't to support veteran's ' , very clever & tricky of you ABC ?, try harder please.

That's bullshit.

Trump derangement is a joy watch.

Chump change

No wonder he is whining about how hard done by he is despite all (And ONLY) the good things he has allegedly done in a recent press release... What a flog.

Misusing Charity Funds, how low can you go?

If I were an American, I'd give the House of Reps and Senate two weeks and if he is still in office I would then ask why Trump is still my President?

If I did that I'd be locked away for a good few years.

Trump ordered to pay $US2 mln over charityA New York state judge has ordered US President Donald Trump to pay $US2 million ($A2.9 million) for misusing his namesake charitable foundation, which resulted in funds being used to advance his 2016 presidential campaign. Will just grab it out of the car console. LooseChange This is the best they could do? Remember when the pathetically partisan SDNY was definitely totally gonna have Trump somehow arrested and removed from office? Yet another dismally failed prediction of Trump's demise. The court didn't even impose any penalties or punishment. In typical lying style Trump issues statement portraying his victim status. Pushing the 'donated' generosity of his kind nature. 95% of his support base would eat it up. (NOTE: He said he'd never settle)

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.

Billionaire independent Michael Bloomberg preparing to challenge TrumpMichael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York City, is opening the door to a 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, signalling his dissatisfaction with the current crop of candidates vying to take on President Donald Trump. No The Times predicted this about 2 weeks ago. According to them, HillaryClinton might also have a go if the party looks like it is straying too far left. Apparently also a lot of lobbying for Michelle Obama, but she's reluctant. challenge? I do not think that word means what you think it does.
