President Trump was ordered to pay $2 million for misusing charity funds to support his 2016 campaign. The judge ruled that Trump breached his fiduciary duty by allowing his campaign to control funds raised for veterans. Trump admitted the fundraiser was a campaign event. The funds will be distributed to unrelated nonprofits, and the Trump Foundation will dissolve. The ruling followed a 2018 lawsuit by NY Attorney General Barbara Underwood, who criticized the foundation's operations. Current AG Letitia James praised the decision, emphasizing accountability for all, including the President.
