Trump charity agrees to dissolve amid allegations of a ‘shocking pattern of illegality’

President Trump’s charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, has agreed to dissolve amid allegations from the New York Attorney General’s Office that it engaged in a “shocking pattern of illegality.”

New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood (D) announced Tuesdaythat her office will continue to pursue its lawsuit against the foundation, which seeks $2.8 million in restitution plus penalties, as well as an order barring Trump and his three oldest children — Donald Trump Jr.Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump — from serving on the boards of other New York charities.

Under the agreement, the foundation will dissolve under judicial supervision and provide the court with a list within 30 days of the not-for-profit organizations that receive money from the charity’s remaining assets.
