Reminds me of the Eric Trump Foundation....
Eric Trump reportedly told Forbes for its article that nearly all the money contributed to the foundation goes toward St. Jude because his charity has been able to use the Trump family's golf course in Westchester County, New York, for free.
"We get to use our assets 100% free of charge," Trump said, according to the article.
But the article said: "That's not the case. In reviewing filings from the Eric Trump Foundation and other charities, it's clear that the course wasn't free — that the Trump Organization received payments for its use, part of more than $1.2 million that has no documented recipients past the Trump Organization."
"Golf charity experts say the listed expenses defy any reasonable cost justification for a one-day golf tournament," Forbes said.
Forbes reported that Donald Trump became aware that the golf course was not billing Eric's foundation, and demanded the charity begin being charged about six years ago.
