Former President Donald Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee and his company have agreed to pay the District of Columbia $750,000 to resolve allegations that those entities and the Trump hotel there illegally misused nonprofit funds to enrich the Trump family. The District of Columbia had alleged in a lawsuit that the Trump Presidential Inaugural Committee, a nonprofit corporation, coordinated with members of Trump’s family “to grossly overpay for event space” at the Trump hotel during his 2017 inauguration as president. Trump faces a pending criminal investigation in Georgia over allegations that he illegally interfered in the 2020 presidential election there. He also faces a civil probe in New York, whose attorney general has said there is evidence the Trump Organization illegally manipulated the stated value of real estate assets for financial benefit.
