The Trump Foundation dissolved last year after the New York attorney general's office alleged a 'pattern of illegal conduct.'
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump must pay $2 million in damages for allowing his 2016 campaign to misuse money raised through his now-dissolved charity, the Trump Foundation, a judgeThat money, along with $1.78 million in assets left over from the Trump Foundation, will be split among eight charities. The order is a win for the New York attorney general's office, which had sued Trump, his foundation, and his adult children who had served on the foundation's board — Donald Trump Jr.
The New York attorney general's office had asked the judge to award $2.8 million in damages — representing the total amount raised at the 2016 event — but Scarpulla declined, since that money ultimately did go to charities. The Trump Foundation released a statement saying it was"pleased to donate an additional $2 million" to the eight charities identified in Scarpulla's order. The statement blamed James' office for delaying the donation by pressing the court case, and noted that Scarpulla denied the attorney general's request for additional damages because Trump had agreed to other conditions to prevent similar misconduct in the future.
