NEW YORK President Donald Trump's charitable foundation has reached a deal to dissolve amid a legal battle with New York's attorney general.
New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood and the foundation filed a joint stipulation with the court Tuesday laying out a process for shutting down the charity and distributing remaining assets to other nonprofit groups.
New York filed a lawsuit last spring accusing the foundation of operating like an extension of Trump's businesses and political campaign. That suit will continue.
Lawyers for the foundation say any infractions were minor. They say they have been trying to shut down the foundation voluntarily for months.
A judge must still sign off on the agreement.
Underwood is a Democrat and is seeking millions of dollars in penalties. She wants Trump and his eldest children barred from running other charities.
Trump's foundation in 2013 gave $25,000 to And Justice For All, the political committee for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. The donation later became problematic for both Republicans.
In 2016, Trump paid a $2,500 penalty to the Internal Revenue Service and refunded his foundation $25,000 from his personal wealth because the contribution violated tax laws, the Washington Post reported at the time.
The foundation, called the Donald J. Trump Foundation, is a tax-exempt nonprofit and thus barred from contributing to political campaigns, candidates or causes.
The contribution came shortly after New York launched an investigation into Trump University, the controversial Trump real estate training program with significant Florida ties. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman deemed Trump University and its affiliates "sham for-profit colleges" that ripped off 5,000 consumers.
Bondi's office declined to launch a similar investigation, leading political opponents to later question whether Trump's contribution affected the decision.
Both Bondi and the White House denied any correlation.
"The ethics commission found everyone found that nothing was done wrong there," Bondi said in July.

DOJ reportedly launches new probe into Clinton Foundation

It is sad and pathetic when the only defense that can be offered is "the Clinton's are criminals, why can't we be criminals too?"

The Deep state isn't obeying. .
WASHINGTON � President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.
The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.

That's typical of any party cultist of either side.
It's not criminal when "our guy" does it.

It is a fair point. Now address it. Why were you silent when Clinton and Obama commited obvious crimes. Then you pretend Trump did something wrong when you know you are lying to yourself? Why not just be honest and quit lying all the time?

Do you think a government that illegally spies on its citizens should get off scot-free?

Trump was a citizen. So no they shouldn't get away with it.

According to the DOJ neither committed any crime.
It is not you or I who have the authority to officially accuse a government official of a crime.
The Clintons were both investigated for years. If there is a good reason why they should be investigated further, I'm certain they will be.
Neither present any risk to the USA or it's people.
The house and senate have both been investigating the Obama administration for some time. We've heard nothing that constitutes a crime. Like the Clintons, President Obama represents no threat whatsoever to the US.
Dip-Shit Donnie is up to his eyes in greasy criminal activity and has very likely been compromised (willingly) by hostile foreign powers. He is also in the most powerful office in the world.
That's a very dangerous combination, and his continued presence in the WH puts us all at risk!
Now go ahead and make some lame attempt at an insult - that's all you have.
Or you can try to defend the Toad's greasy fuckery.

DOJ/fbi just covered it up. There was no investigation. As of right now we are without a justice system. Between Muelface illegal actions and Demoncrap coverup we have a serious legal dilemma in America. Just remember turn around is fair play! Demoncraps are opening up Pandora's box.
