Trump used $258,000 from his charity to settle legal problems

September 21, 2016 01:00

Donald Trump spent more than a quarter-million dollars from his charitable foundation to settle lawsuits that involved the billionaires for-profit businesses, according to interviews and a review of legal documents.

Those cases, which together used $258,000 from Trumps charity, were among four newly documented expenditures in which Trump may have violated laws against self-dealing -- which prohibit nonprofit leaders from using charity money to benefit themselves or their businesses.

In one case, from 2007, Trumps Mar-a-Lago Club faced $120,000 in unpaid fines from the town of Palm Beach, Fla., resulting from a dispute over the size of a flagpole.
