Trump Foundation is an illegal undocumented charity in New York state

Another David Fahrenthold exposé in the Washington Post dropped Thursday evening, which details his ongoing investigation into the secret dealings of the Trump Foundation. In this latest installment, Fahrenthold found that the Trump Foundation wasn’t registered with the New York state government requiring it to be.

New York requires a certification process before any charity can solicit $25,000 or more. Trump’s didn’t do this. Had the foundation registered, however, there likely would have been audits and investigations into the spending and some of the dealings that are now being revealed. They did manage to file the required IRS reports.

The New York Attorney General has opened an investigation into the foundation, but it is unclear if these new findings will be part of the investigation.

As on and the kids college fund....having no choice in 08 and part of 09 when hubs was laid off...he went back to work at half pay eventually and we owed thousands in back taxes and penalties. I paid my fair share after being practically ruined so 'smart' businessmen' like Trump could profit off of the economic debacle of 08.

Rich white man syndrome.
