Order to pay Trump 200 million yen to President Trump New York State Court on November 8 at 10:21
The New York state court has told President Trump about 200 million yen in Japanese yen, assuming that charity funds run by President Trump in the United States were illegally used in the campaign of the presidential election three years ago. Ordered payment.
The case was brought to New York, where the Trump Foundation headquarters was located, in search of the Foundation's dissolution and payment of compensation, alleging that the use of the Foundation's funds violated the laws governing charity activities. It was.
A New York state court admitted that President Trump had illegally used Foundation funds for campaigning and purchasing private items three years ago, and paid over $ 200 million in Japanese yen. I ordered.
The over 200 million yen paid is donated to 8 non-profit organizations such as organizations that support children.
On the other hand, regarding the dissolution of the Foundation, President Trump responded last year, and the $ 1.75 million remaining in the Foundation has been transferred to another charity.
After the court's decision, President Trump issued a statement, criticizing that the trial was a political attack by New York State, and recently announced that he would change his registered residence from New York to Florida. With that in mind, he said, “It ’s natural for everyone to leave here.”
However, the court's admission of illegal use of Foundation funds is likely to be a critic for opposition and democratic parties, who are increasingly confronting the presidential election next year.
