Given the sudden interest in charitable foundations and investigations for tax evasion, I doubt the FBI is going to be looking into Trump's foundation any time soon.

President-elect Donald Trumps charitable foundation has admitted to the Internal Revenue Service that it violated a legal prohibition against self-dealing, which bars nonprofit leaders from using their charitys money to help themselves, their businesses or their families.
The admission was contained in the Donald J. Trump Foundations IRS tax filings for 2015, which were recently posted online at the nonprofit-tracking site GuideStar. A GuideStar spokesman said the forms were uploaded by the Trump Foundations law firm, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.
The Washington Post could not immediately confirm if the same forms had actually been sent to the IRS.
In one section of the form, the IRS asked whether the Trump Foundation had transferred income or assets to a disqualified person. A disqualified person, in this context, might be Trump the foundations president or a member of his family or a Trump-owned business.
The foundation checked yes.

Hell, we're having a heat wave today. Supposed to hit 35-deg. F.
Just kidding (lucky you) and hope you had a great holiday season. Did you box with anyone, LOL?

(14,490 posts)how much false info Russia is still planting on social media about the Clintons and the Foundation. Goodness knows, Faux News and right-wing talk radio will be doing their share. Some days I think every citizen's head in the USA must surely be spinning in total confusion...
