After a 21-month probe, New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood came to the conclusion POTUS had been misusing funding of the Donald J. Trump Foundation to help his 2016 presidential campaign and his various businesses.
By suing, the attorney aims to recover $2.8million that Trump is said to have raised for military veterans at an event in Iowa in 2016 but gave his campaign control over.
It's also believed $100,000 from the charity may have been used to settle a dispute involving Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, and $10,000 for a portrait of Trump that was later hung at one of his golf clubs.
Donald Trump and his attorney predictably claim that the case is nothing but a Democrat witch hunt. They'll be able to present that defense in court.
