NY AG investigates Trump Foundation

Eric Schneiderman, Attorney General of New York, indicated that he has started an investigation into the Trump Foundation:

In a CNN interview on Tuesday, Schneiderman said his office had now brought Trump’s charitable foundation under scrutiny.

“My interest in this issue really is in my capacity as regulator of nonprofits in New York state. And we have been concerned that the Trump Foundation may have engaged in some impropriety from that point of view,” the elected Democratic official said.

He added: “We have been looking into the Trump Foundation to make sure it’s complying with the laws that govern charities in New York.” He did not elaborate on what wrongdoing Trump’s nonprofit might have committed.

Here’s hoping that this election season doesn’t completely destroy the public’s confidence in our sector.
