The New York attorney general, which has been investigating the Donald J. Trump Foundation for months, is now looking into the Eric Trump Foundation, after a
report in
Forbes exposed practices that seem to violate state laws.
“The attorney general's office is looking into the issues raised by this report," said Eric Soufer, the communications director for the New York state attorney general.
One potential issue: The Donald J. Trump Foundation donated $100,000 to the Eric Trump Foundation, with the intent of covering the costs for payments to a Donald Trump-owned property, according to Ian Gillule, who worked at Trump National Westchester during two stints from 2006 to 2015.
“That appears on its face to be an indirect act of self-dealing,” former IRS official Marcus Owens, said before the original story published on Tuesday.
“That is going to be of great interest to the attorney general of New York,” Owens added.
The Eric Trump Foundation also gave donors the impression that all of the money raised at its annual golf event went to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a leading pediatric cancer center in Memphis, Tennessee. But according to IRS filings submitted by the Eric Trump Foundation, more than $500,000 went to other charities, several of which had ties to Trump family businesses or interests.
Spokespeople for the Trump Organization and the Eric Trump Foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Forbes will continue to update this story. You can read the original article here.
