New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood revealed on Tuesday that her office had secured an agreement for the Trump Foundation to dissolve.
Amy Spitalnick, a spokesperson for Underwood, broke the news in a tweet Tuesday morning.
"NY AG Barbara Underwood secures a stipulation dissolving the Trump Foundation under judicial supervision, w/ AG review to ensure charitable $ goes to reputable orgs," the tweet said. "This is a key piece of the relief sought in her June suit."
In a lawsuit filed earlier this year, Underwood's office sought to dissolve the Trump Foundation. It also asked for more than $2.8 million in damages and penalties.
The lawsuit alleges that under guidance from the Trump family the Foundation was involved in "a pattern of persistent illegal conduct, occurring over more than a decade, that includes extensive unlawful political coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions to benefit Mr. Trump’s personal and business interests, and violations of basic legal obligations for non-profit foundations."
