Incoming Attorney General Letitia James recently stated that she plans to launch a sweeping investigation against the president and his family members. She said, “We will use every area of the law to investigate President Trump and his business transactions and that of his family as well.”
Trump Foundation allegedly committed a shocking pattern of illegality”
In June, Underwood sued the Trump Foundation for allegedly committing a “pattern of persistent illegal conduct.” At the time, the president called it a “ridiculous case,” and vowed that he “won’t settle it.”
On Tuesday, Underwood reiterated that the foundation engaged in a “shocking pattern of illegality.” She added that the foundation was “functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump’s business and political interests.”
Underwood vowed to continue to pursue the lawsuit against the foundation. Her office is seeking $2.8 million in restitution plus penalties and an order prohibiting Trump and his adult children—Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump—from serving on any Board of other charitable organizations in the State of New York.
