Underwood alleged that Trump, his adult children and his charitable foundation committed a “pattern of persistent illegal conduct” for over a decade. According to her, Trump used the foundation’s assets for his own benefit.
In response to the statement of the governor’s counsel, Amy Spitalnick, the spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office, said, “As our lawsuit against the Trump Foundation illustrates, we intend to hold the foundation and its directors accountable for all violations of state law.”
In addition, Spitalnick stressed, “We continue to evaluate the evidence to determine what actions may be warranted, and will seek a criminal referral from the appropriate state agency as necessary.”
The attorney general’s office already referred the case to the IRS and the Federal Election Commission for further investigation.
In a statement last month, the Trump Foundation called the lawsuit “politics at its very worst.”
Trump called it “ridiculous” and said, “I won’t settle this case.”
