Eric Trump Suspends Operations Of His Charitable Foundation

... co-chairmen” of a post-Inauguration fundraiser. According to a draft invitation, donors could pay $500,000 to go on a multiday hunting trip with one or both of the Trump sons, or pay $1,000,000 for a private reception with the president. The host of that “Camouflage & Cufflinks” gala was listed as the Opening Day Foundation, a charity registered just days earlier in Texas. As first reported by the Center for Public Integrity , that Texas charity listed both Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. as directors. The Trump transition team later said none of the Trumps had been involved in the planning of the event. Later, the two Trump sons' names were removed from the charity's registration. Both those episodes seemed to show that the Trump family — whose members have spent years monetizing personal appearances, both for profit and for charity — have not prepared themselves for a new world in which their father is president, and such cash-for-access arrangements look like influence-peddling. So far, Donald ...

... incoming president. Trump cannot dissolve the Trump Foundation until the investigation is complete, but his lawyers have supposedly already begun getting things in order to do so. On Friday, Donald Trump tweeted that his son, Eric, would also be ceasing his fundraising work with cancer charities because of potential conflicts of interests. While severing ties to organizations — nonprofit or otherwise — that could raise ethical questions should be par for the course for an incoming president, the Trumps nevertheless deserve some credit for doing so. Any good will those steps may have earned from critics and opponents, however, may have very likely been quashed by some misguided praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin from Donald Trump. In a tweet sent out Friday, Trump quoted Putin for criticizing former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party because they’ve raised questions about Trump’s relationship with Putin in regards to the Russian government having possibly hacked into the Democratic National Committee’s email servers in the weeks prior to the election. Vladimir Putin said today about ...

... will have the effect of benefiting some company that he may own somewhere. Particularly with regard to an unfriendly country where he has some of these assets, he would be better served to not have that appearance of a conflict.”. A week after the election, about 100 foreign diplomats were wined and dined at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D. C. Sliders and Trump sparkling wine were served while the attendees listened to a sales pitch about how they might want to have delegations and V. I. P. guests stay at the hotel whenever they are in town. The hotel, one of the newest in the Trump stable, is five blocks from the White House. The diplomats took to the sales pitch instinctively.
