The court’s decision, together with the settlements we negotiated, are a major victory in our efforts to protect charitable assets and hold accountable those who would abuse charities for personal gain,” she said. “My office will continue to fight for accountability because no one is above the law—not a businessman, not a candidate for office, and not even the President of the United States.”
In addition to the $2 million payment, Trump was also ordered to reimburse the foundation $11,525 to cover the cost of paying for charity auction items and champagne. James’ office described the auction items as “sports paraphernalia,” an apparent reference to the Tebow helmet.
Under a previously agreed part of the settlement, Trump admitted he misused funds, paid back the cost of purchasing the portrait, and agreed to restrictions on any new charity he might start in the state of New York. Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka Trump, meanwhile, were ordered to attend mandatory training sessions on nonprofit management.

That's an admission of guilt, and he settled, which also is a valid legal strategy, and is still equal to being found guilty of a crime. He's also an unindicted co-conspirator with Michael Cohen for breaking campaign finance laws. Cohen is in prison for his part in the crime, but being president protects him from the same fate, but as soon as he's out of office, the southern district of New York will come knocking. |
