In an interview Tuesday on CNN, Schneiderman, a Democrat who has endorsed Hillary Clinton, said his office has been investigating the Trump Foundation to determine whether it has complied with NY laws governing nonprofits.
Schneiderman said that he does not want to publicize things, but it is true that they want to sure about whether the Trump Foundation is following the laws.
A new Hillary Clinton commercial being released on the internet Wednesday highlights the donation Donald Trump’s foundation made to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and calls it corrupt politics.

The fraud investigation never happened, although Mrs Bondi denies the decision was influenced by the donation she received.

Clinton’s campaign initially said she had been suffering the ill effects of dehydration and “overheating”.
After an extremely rough few days for Clinton, Obama used a fiery appearance before a crowd of 6,000 in Philadelphia to try to turn the tables on Trump. “This is nothing more than another left-wing hit job”.
Recent investigative reports found “Trump’s foundation appears to have repeatedly broken IRS rules”.
