NY Attorney General Investigating Westchester Trump Fundraiser

Last edited Sun Jun 18, 2017, 07:22 AM - Edit history (1)

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is investigating the Eric Trump Foundation after Forbes reported a fundraiser meant to raise money for St. Jude's was used to benefit the Trump Organization.

Eric Soufer, the attorney general's director of communications, confirmed the investigation to Politico.

Forbes reviewed filings from Eric Trump's foundation and found the Trump Organization received more than $1.2 million for use of the course. The Trump Organization also used the Eric Trump Foundation to funnel $100,000 in donations into revenue for the Trump Organization.

More than $500,000 was re-donated to other charities, many of which were connected to the Trump family, according to Forbes. Eric Trump sold donors on the fact that use of the golf course was free to ensure 100 percent of all money raised would go to charity.
