Attorney general probes Trump charity
Schneiderman has also filed lawsuit against Trump University
(ANSA) - Washington, September 14 - New York Attorney
General Eric Schneiderman's office has opened an investigation
into Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's charitable
foundation, Schneiderman told CNN on Wednesday.
The attorney general told the network's Jake Tapper on The
Lead that the probe on The Donald J. Trump Foundation vies to
ensure the organization is ''complying with the laws governing
charities in New York''.
The investigation was announced amid reports published by
The Washington Post that Trump used the charity's money on
himself and recycled donations.
The paper also reported that Trump has not donated any money
to his organization since 2008.
Schneiderman is also leading a lawsuit against the
now-defunct Trump University, a real estate seminar business
created by Trump in 2005, claiming the program that took in a
reported 40 million euros was a "fraud".
