Donald Trump’s Foundation Is Ordered To Cease Operations
Donald J. Trump’s Foundation has been ordered to halt its operations until it discloses missing financial reports. The New York attorney general sent a letter on Monday to the foundation with the order.
In a press release, the attorney general’s office announced it notified the Trump Foundation that it needed to stop soliciting money until the foundation submitted its mandatory financial reports and audits.
According to the New York attorney general, Trump’s foundation solicited contributions without having submitted the documents, which is a violation of state law.
Campaign spokesperson Hope Hicks said the foundation would comply, which was reported by NBC’s Katy Tur.
Hicks has also suggested that Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s letter to the Trump Foundation may be politically motivated.
