23, November 2016 Trump’s woes
Trump grudgingly acknowledged that he may
have run afoul of self-dealing rules by using $258,000 of foundation funds to
settle legal disputes for his businesses. He also reneged on pledges of
financial support for his foundation. Money was also improperly used to pay for
private school fees for Trump’s son, Barron. The foundation remains shrouded
under a dark cloud pending investigation by the New York attorney general.
Shell-shocked Democrats cowered into silence
should wake up and demand that the Trump Foundation be open to more vigorous oversight.
Trump’s business interests intertwined with
his president-elect duties are also gaining public scrutiny.
A few examples:
A week after winning the election, Trump met
with his Indian business partners – who are managing $1.5 billion in Trump
projects.
Requested British officials oppose wind farms
in Scotland pleading they would mar the view of his company’s golf course.
Included his adult children to be at the helm
of the transition team while simultaneously managing his business empire.
