New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman opened a fresh probe into one of Donald Trump’s namesake operations -- this time his charitable foundation -- to determine whether the Republican presidential candidate is flouting state law.
The investigation into the Donald J. Trump Foundation, revealed by Schneiderman on Tuesday, throws up another legal concern for the billionaire ahead of the Nov. 8 election. Schneiderman’s earlier fraud case against Trump University, in which he’s accused of ripping off students with bogus real-estate seminars, is continuing along with two lawsuits by former students in San Diego.
