Trump Pays $2 Million to Resolve Case Over His Fraudulent Foundation
As a presidential candidate in 2016, Donald Trump took great pride in boasting to the public that he doesn’t settle lawsuits. “I don’t settle cases,” the Republican bragged during a primary debate in March 2016. “I don’t do it because that’s why I don’t get sued very often, because I don’t settle, unlike a lot of other people.”
Indeed, in June 2018, when the president’s fraudulent charitable foundation was taken to court, Trump made a specific vow via Twitter: “I won’t settle this case!”
As we discussed last month, Trump settled the case. The Washington Post reported this afternoon on the president cutting the $2 million check.
