Very little of what President Trump is laying out here is true. He operated the Trump Foundation like a grift for three decades and that's why it was dissolved. And there's still a NYS AG lawsuit pending that will adjudicate all of this. The fact pattern: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
The president housed the Trump Foundation in Trump Tower. It had no dedicated office space or staff. It was a mailing address. So of course he took "NO fees, rent, salaries, etc." There were no salaries or rent to pay. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
But no need to believe me. Read @Fahrenthold on the topic: pulitzer.org/winners/david-…
Or read Bill Bastone's earlier work on the topic: thesmokinggun.com/tags/donald-j-…
And here is NYS AG Barabra Underwood: “Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation — including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more.” ag.ny.gov/press-release/…
