New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has ordered the Donald J. Trump Foundation to stop soliciting donations immediately in New York state, saying the foundation is not registered under state law. It’s the latest blow to Trump’s family foundation, which has been facing increasing scrutiny during the election. A series of Washington Post investigations have revealed the foundation has also broken U.S. laws by using hundreds of thousands of dollars from the foundation to pay off legal fees associated with Trump’s for-profit businesses. These investigations have also shown Donald Trump has not personally donated to his foundation since 2008 and that he’s also used foundation money to buy advertisements for his hotels and at least two expensive portraits—of himself.
