The scandal-plagued Trump Foundation is permanently closing its doors, but the investigation into the so-called “charity” is just getting started.
The Washington Post published a short but memorable sentence the other day: “Two years after Donald Trump won the presidency, nearly every organization he has led in the past decade is under investigation.”
This has the added benefit of being true. The president himself is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation, which is a rough starting point, but it looks worse when we note that Trump’s campaign, private business, and inaugural committee have also faced investigations. Heck, even Trump University was credibly accused of fraud before the president settled the case (after promising he wouldn’t).
But I continue to believe the Trump Foundation’s scandal is the underappreciated controversy of the Trump era. The so-called “charity” announced today that it will permanently close its doors.
