That's just a repeat of the misuse of funds like in the case of the Trump Foundation that was caught cheating.The Trump family is used to gimmick and once again proved that it is a crooked one, manipulating its innocent base.
D.C. Eyes Donald Trump Jr. Over Misspent Inaugural Funds (lawandcrime.com)
The Washington, D.C. Attorney General’s office would like a word with Donald Trump Jr. over an allegedly unlawful misuse of presidential inauguration committee funds.
According to a non-public notice to sit for a sworn deposition in an ongoing civil lawsuit, the 45th president’s eldest son has some explaining to do under oath, a spokesperson for the D.C. Attorney General’s office told Law&Crime.
Originally filed in January 2020 by D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, that lawsuit initially alleged the inaugural committee “improperly paid more than $1 million” to the Trump Organization “for use of event space at the Trump Hotel” in Washington, D.C. during President Donald Trump‘s 2017 inauguration.
Two recent filings have added new dimensions — and an additional charge — to that lawsuit.
“This amended complaint adds an additional count against Defendants 58th Presidential inaugural Committee (PIC) and the Trump Organization for violating the District’s statutory and Common law,” a Monday filing by D.C. Assistant Attorney General Leonor Miranda says. “Discovery in this case has confirmed that the PIC improperly paid almost $50,000 for hotel rooms reserved by the Trump Organization. This new instance of improper spending of nonprofit funds is the focus of an additional count in the District’s First Amended Complaint.”
The new charge is unrelated to the use of Trump Hotel event space; rather, it concerns the Trump Organization allegedly acting on behalf of the younger Trump and one of his associates.
“In December 2016, the Trump Organization reserved a block of hotel rooms at the Madison, a Loews Hotel (Loews Madison) in Washington, D.C. during the January 2017 inauguration week,” the second filing alleges. “This reservation was arranged by the personal assistant to Donald Trump, Jr. at the Trump Organization. The contract was executed on behalf of the Trump Organization by a close friend of Donald Trump, Jr. named Gentry Beach.”
“The [Presidential inaugural Committee] was not a party to this contract,” the filing continues.
The two new documents are styled as: (1) a motion for leave to amend the original complaint; and (2) a proposed order containing the new complaint and allegation.
Notably, former Trump 2016 campaign aide and Paul Manafort‘s erstwhile protg Rick Gates also makes an appearance in the documents. From the motion for leave:
When the Trump Organization failed to pay the Loews Madison $49,358.92 for use of those hotel rooms, the unpaid invoice wound its way from a debt collection agency in Arizona to Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign and PIC official, who passed the unpaid invoice along to the PIC. Then, in July 2017, the PIC paid this debt of the Trump Organization using nonprofit funds meant to serve a public purpose. When it did so, the PIC’s nonprofit funds improperly inured to the benefit of the Trump Organization in violation of the District’s Nonproft Corporations Act and common law. The District’s request to amend its Complaint to add an additional count against the PIC and the Trump Organization to recover these additional misspent nonprofit funds is proper and should be granted.
