Donald J. Trump’s foundation has stopped accepting donations in New York to comply with a cease and desist letter issued two weeks ago over its failure to properly register as a charity under state law, according to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
The Republican presidential candidate’s namesake nonprofit organization confirmed to the attorney general that it halted fundraising in the state as part of receiving an extension for turning over delinquent financial reports, Doug Cohen, a spokesman for Schneiderman, said in an e-mail on Monday.
