Read: New York attorney general’s new lawsuit against Trump Foundation, President Trump, and his children

New York state Attorney General Barbara Underwood has filed a lawsuit against the Trump family’s charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, alleging “extensive and persistent violations of state and federal law.”

Underwood announced that the lawsuit would name the foundation as well as its directors — President Trump, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump. Alleging a “pattern of persistent illegal conduct, occurring over more than a decade,” Underwood asked for $2.8 million in restitution, plus penalties, and called for the foundation to be dissolved.

Underwood says she has contacted the IRS and the Federal Election Commission, identifying potential violations of federal law associated with the foundation. She is also seeking to ban President Trump from serving as a board member for any other New York nonprofit organization for 10 years.

Underwood became the state attorney general last month, after Eric Schneiderman’s shocking resignation due to allegations of abuse. She is not seeking to be elected to the post permanently. You can read the full lawsuit below, or at this link.
