News so new it’s not reported yet except on Twitter:
#BREAKING: NY Supreme Court throws out Trump’s motion to dismiss @NewYorkStateAG Underwood’s Trump Foundation lawsuit: https://t.co/J2WomSeQrs
As the AG’s lawsuit detailed, the Trump Foundation functioned as a personal piggy bank to serve Trump's business & political interests

Scarpulla also finds that AG’s petition sufficiently alleges breach of fiduciary duty, as well as our claim that Trump intentionally used Foundation assets for his private interests knowing it might not be in the Foundation’s best interest.
She denies Trump request for discovery

The irony is that he probably could have avoided such a close look at his finances if he hadn’t chosen to run for president.
That is what is supposed to be so villainous about the Clinton Foundation, that it was being used as a slush fund and a way to take bribes.
It’s his transistion fund all over again. It has his.nane on it, ergo “Give me my fucking money!”
