New questions raised about how Trump used his foundation

Source: CBS News

Donald Trump is under fire for reports, including those from the Washington Post, saying he used money from his charitable foundation for business and personal expenses. CBS News has new details on one of the payments.

At a 2010 charity golf tournament at a Trump Westchester golf course, Martin Greenberg thought he’d won a million dollars when he hit a hole in one.

But the insurance company that was supposed to pay out balked, saying the tee was set up wrong. Greenberg sued the tournament’s sponsor, the charity of former NBA player Alonzo Mourning, and Donald Trump’s club.

Trump’s campaign says to help pay for the resulting settlement, Trump donated lifetime memberships at his golf courses. They were auctioned through an online charity website that said proceeds would benefit the Donald J. Trump Foundation and Mourning’s charity. The winner was still required to pay $1,500 monthly dues.
