POTUS is in legal hot water again, this time for taking money from veterans' charities
Donald Trump has been ordered to repay $2 million to veterans charities, after misdirecting the proceeds of a charity event to his 2016 campaignin a way that hurts a group of people he claims are a priority on his presidential agenda. On Thursday, New York State Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla ruled that Trump had misdirected proceeds from a charity even benefiting veterans to his 2016 election campaign, ordering him to pay $2 million big ones to a group of veteran-centric charities.
New York State attorney general Barbara Underwood initiated the lawsuit last year. Initially Trump maintained that he would fight the case. However, his lawyers have been negotiating with the state for several months in attempt to settle. While he was fined $2 million, he did escape any punitive damages. However, his future charitable endeavors will be restricted.
