Snip
Trump refused to pay a winner of a hole-in-one contest $1 million during a 2010 golf tournament, prompting the competition’s angry winner to sue the mogul, recently unearthed documents from the lawsuit show.

And when the GOP nominee finally settled the suit for $158,000, he did so with money from his charitable foundation, which is illegal.

Quite the case being built against Trump.
He will be in prison. Not going to be President, not going to choose the SC nominee nor stack the deck that will absolve him of this crime.

charity of his choice. Trump knew that he was going to use those Foundation dollars to pay this settlement all along. You know those "Other People's Money" that he bragged shamelessly about the other day.

prosecuted or going to prison in this country. He's well connected politically and we do know that the wealthy and well-connected do not face indictment or trial or punishment for their crimes.
