President Trump's embattled charitable foundation has agreed to dissolve itself under judicial supervision as part of a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood

The Trump Foundation had previously sought to dissolve on its own terms but has now signed a stipulation that requires it to do so with monitoring by the court and oversight by the attorney general's office, which must review and approve disbursements of remaining funds to make sure the recipients are legitimate

"Today's stipulation accomplishes a key piece of the relief sought in our lawsuit earlier this year," said New York Attorney General (NYAG) Barbara Underwood in a statement

"Under the terms, the Trump Foundation can only dissolve under judicial supervision – and it can only distribute its remaining charitable assets to reputable organizations approved by my office

" The attorney general's lawsuit alleged that the president and his three eldest children, who served as members of the foundation's board, repeatedly used charitable donations for personal, political and business gains, including legal settlements, campaign contributions and even to purchase a portrait of Trump to hang at one of his hotels

The alleged conduct, Underwood said, "amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr

Trump's business and political interests." Yet an attorney for the Trump Foundation had a sharply different take on the matter

In a statement released in response to the attorney general's comments, Trump Foundation attorney Alan Futerfas accused Underwood's office of "politicizing" the matter

"Contrary to the NYAG's misleading statement issued earlier today, the Foundation has been seeking to dissolve and distribute its remaining assets to worthwhile charitable causes since Donald J

Trump's victory in the 2016 Presidential election," Futerfas' statement said. "Unfortunately, the NYAG sought to prevent dissolution for almost two years, thereby depriving those most in need of nearly $1

7 million." Futerfas went on to contend that in the past decade the foundation has distributed about $19 million to 700 different charitable organizations

Shortly after the Futerfas statement was released, Underwood shot back with a follow-up statement of her own, insisting that the foundation wanted to dissolve itself, but that the dissolution required government oversight

"Given the Trump Foundation's egregious pattern of illegality -— including repeatedly using charitable assets for unlawful purposes -— that was unacceptable," an Underwood spokesperson said in the follow-up statement

"That's why AG Underwood's suit demanded dissolution under court supervision, with our office's oversight of how the charitable assets will be distributed — and that's exactly what we achieved with the Trump Foundation's concession today

The lawsuit is also seeking restitution, as well as prohibiting Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr

from serving on the boards of charities for the next 10 years. An attorney for the president has argued that the case is politically motivated, an argument the judge rejected as recently as last month when he turned down an attempt to get the case dismissed

Rudy Giuliani Admits Trump Has Been LYING About Campaign Finance Violations - Duration: 4:11.

On Sunday, Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, appeared on ABC news with George Stephanopoulos

to talk about Donald Trump's increasing legal problems.

Uh, Giuliani though throughout the interview seemed to suggest that yes, Donald Trump has

been lying this whole time about the payments made to stormy Daniels.

What he knew when he knew it, and if he was even involved as it stands right now, Trump

has changed his story about half a dozen times.

The latest is that hell yeah, we made the payments.

It's just that that was a private transaction, you know, person, a paying person, be some

money for no particular reason whatsoever.

So they're not even denying that the payments took place in Trump's not even denying that

he knew had happened.

So Giuliani is having to go through and play cleanup because he's, he's doing his best

to not be the worst lawyer in the country, but he's still failing spectacularly.

Because during the interview with George Stephanopoulos, he told him that, yeah, Trump story has changed

a lot, but he wasn't under oath when he said any of these things.

So it doesn't matter.

You know, he can lie to the public as long as he's not lying under oath and everything's

cool at that point, right?

No, no.

Rudy, no.

Do you realize that everything your client, Donald J Trump says on Twitter, says in an

interview that can all be used against him because it's all about credibility.

So when this thing, if this thing finally goes to a trial and the prosecutors would

easily be able to prove that, look, he lied here, here, here, story changed.

Story changed.

Story Change.

That's not going to bode well for you.

Your interview with George Stephanopoulos where you say that it's okay for him to lie

because he wasn't under oath.

That's not going to bode well for you.

You've destroyed your own credibility as well as the credibility of your client.

I mean, this is legal malpractice at its finest and yet Trump still thinks you are doing a

hell of a job.

Giuliani went on to say that part of the reason Trump story keeps changing is because his

memory's just really bad.

He then said that he himself, Giuliani was there at some of these things and even he

can't recall exactly what happened.

So I guess at this point we're just dealing with two demented, possibly Alzheimer's suffering

senior citizens who, gosh darn it, they just can't remember what kind of crimes they were

committing.

Which day is a crazy day.

A lot of crimes.

Ah, I don't even know.

That's the best defense that Rudy Giuliani can come up with to defend the president of

the United States.

You know, sometimes this administration just makes it a little too easy on the opposition,

and Giuliani certainly isn't doing the president

any favors.

TRUMP MAKES HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT ,TRUMP DROPS THE HAMMER ON ROBERT MUELLER - Duration: 12:17.

THIS IS THE END FOR MUELLER ,TRUMP DROPS THE HAMMER ON ROBERT MUELLER

President Trump has been unfairly treated by the Democrats.

They have questioned the legitimacy of his Presidency the day after he beat Hillary,

and they won't let up until they see him gone.

President Trump is no stranger to being treated wrongfully by the media, and its no surprise

the Mueller which hunt is still dragging along.

They've tried every single tactic available to mankind, and now there's signs they are

finally running out of options.

From CNN:

President Donald Trump's legal team is preparing answers to written questions provided by special

counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The move represents a major development after months of negotiations and signals that the

Mueller investigation could be entering a final phase with regard to the President.

The questions are focused on matters related to the investigation of possible collusion

between Trump associates and Russians seeking to meddle in the 2016 election, the sources

said.

Trump's lawyers are preparing written responses, in part relying on documents previously provided

to the special counsel, the sources said.

"We are in continuing discussions with the special counsel and we do not comment on those

discussions," said Trump attorney Jay Sekulow.

There may be more rounds of questions after the first answers are returned.

The special counsel had insisted that there be a chance for follow-up questions as well.

But after a prolonged back-and-forth over months, the two sides agreed to start with

a first round of questions.

Additionally, the two sides have still not come to agreement on whether the President

will be interviewed in person by investigators who are also probing whether Trump obstructed

justice by firing FBI Director James Comey.

Asked on Thursday about answering Mueller's questions, Trump again signaled his willingness

to sit down for an interview with Mueller or provide written responses — the option

much preferred by his attorneys.

"It seems ridiculous that I'd have to do it when everybody says there's no collusion,

but I'll do what is necessary to get it over with," Trump said in a phone interview

on Fox News.

Despite Trump's insistence to the contrary, the possibility of collusion remains an open

question in the ongoing investigation led by Mueller, who has not tipped his hand one

way or the other.

Negotiations for Trump's testimony lasted for the better part of a year.

The two sides nearly reached a deal in January for Trump to be questioned at the presidential

retreat in rural Maryland, Camp David, only for talks to break down at the last minute.

What followed was a series of letters and meetings — some hostile — in which Trump's

lawyers raised objections and sought to limit any potential testimony.

For months, Mueller told Trump's lawyers that he needed to hear from the President

to determine his intent on key events in the obstruction inquiry.

During one tense session in March, Mueller raised the possibility of getting a subpoena

to compel the President's testimony.

Trump's lead attorney John Dowd resigned later that month.

According to a recent book published by journalist Bob Woodward, Dowd quit because he believed

Trump would never heed his advice to avoid an interview at all costs.

Trump once publicly said he was "100%" willing to go under oath to answer questions

about his decision to fire Comey, who led the original Russia investigation before Mueller

was appointed.

The President eventually hired Rudy Giuliani to join his legal team, and the former New

York mayor quickly took to the airwaves to defend Trump and attack Mueller.

As Giuliani made the rounds on TV newscasts — blasting the investigation as illegitimate

— Trump's other lawyers, Jane and Marty Raskin, carefully worked behind the scenes

with Mueller's team to narrow the topics

that

Trump

could be

asked about.

Trump's "Boarder" Tweet, the White House Christmas Reception - Monologue - Duration: 3:30.

Let's get to the news.

President Trump misspelled the word "border" today

when tweeting about border security.

Now, I don't want to get on Trump about every misspelling,

but come on.

I understand how you can misspell "Melania," but...

the wall is the actual love of your life.

President Trump tweeted on Friday that his budget director

will replace John Kelly

and become acting White House chief of staff,

adding, "Mick M will do a great job."

Oh, no. He thinks it's Mickey Mouse, doesn't he?

Oh, no.

"Looking forward to working with my childhood hero.

Steamboat Willie. That's what we used to call him."

In an interview yesterday when asked if President Trump

would potentially sit down with Special Counsel Robert Mueller,

Rudy Giuliani responded, "Over my dead body."

Okay, so, how's two weeks ago?

[ Laughter ]

President Trump and First Lady Melania

attended a Christmas reception today at the White House

but not before Melania had the room swept for mistletoe.

[ Laughter ]

[ Audience oohs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Eh. All right. That worked out.

[ Applause ]

New York governor Andrew Cuomo today called for the

legalization of recreational marijuana in the state.

I guess he figures if you're moving really slow,

the trains will seem faster.

[ Laughter ]

[ Applause ]

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller said yesterday

that the Trump administration is going to do

whatever is necessary to build the border wall.

And if that doesn't work, maybe you could build something

that seems like a wall...

when you're far away.

Maybe no one will get close enough to notice it's fake.

I mean, it's risky.

But maybe.

According to "The New York Times,"

the Russian effort to influence

the 2016 election on social media

used tactics to try to suppress Democratic voters

from turning out on Election Day...

though in the end she wrote this joke all by herself.

-But I'm trying to figure out how we get them

to have Pokémon Go To The Polls.

[ Laughter ]

-[ Russian accent ] "We can stop hacking now.

It's all over."

[ Normal voice ] A cat was returned to its owner in Canada

this weekend after it accidentally crawled into a box

and was shipped 700 miles away.

Said the cat owner, "Yeah, uh, accidentally."

[ Laughter ]

Starbucks has announced they'll be adding nitro cold brew on tap

at all of its locations by the end of next year...

while Dunkin' announced, "What are ya, the mayor?

Just drink it!"

According to a new survey, one in four teens say

they used marijuana at least once in the past year...

while the other three in four teens

know a narc when they see one.

"Hey. I'm taking a survey."

"Okay, buddy."

And finally, the California farm that recently recalled

Romaine lettuce for possible E. coli contamination

is now recalling cauliflower

and other lettuces grown on the farm.

All in all, it's been a pretty tough year

over at Outbreak Farms.

TRUMP MAKES STUNNING ANNOUNCEMENT,JUST GAVE JEFF SESSIONS HORRIBLE NEWS

President Trump took to Twitter Sunday afternoon blasting his former Attorney General Jeff

Sessions and Robert Mueller's witch hunt.

This comes as Mueller continues dragging his feet and still no collusion with the Trump

campaign.

(Video Below)

President Trump wrote on Twitter Sunday afternoon where he began by suggesting a couple episodes

from last week that are a must see.

He wrote, "Required television watching is last weeks @marthamaccallum interview with

the wonderful wife of Rod Blagojevich and the @trish_regan interview with a Jerome Corsi.

If that doesn't tell you something about what has been going on in our Country, nothing

will.

Very sad!"

Next, the President quoted Daniel Henninger, a columnist for the The Wall Street Journal,

who suggested prosecutors were seeking a way to charge the president through his former

national security adviser Michael Flynn.

"It looks here as though General Flynn's defenses are incidental to something larger

which is for the prosecution to figure out if it can find a path to Donald Trump without

quite knowing what that crime might be.

It stops looking like prosecution and more looking like a persecution of the President.

Daniel Henninger, The Wall Street Journal."

Trump wrote.

Trump also took aim at his former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and said he "should

be ashamed of himself" for allowing the special counsel investigation into Russian

election interference.

The Commander in Chief wrote on Twitter, "Thank you, people are starting to see and understand

what this Witch Hunt is all about.

Jeff Sessions should be ashamed of himself for allowing this total HOAX to get started

in the first place!"

He added, "The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax, started as the "insurance policy" long

before I even got elected, is very bad for our Country.

They are Entrapping people for misstatements, lies or unrelated things that took place many

years ago.

Nothing to do with Collusion.

A Democrat Scam!"

Sessions, stepped down as Trump's Attorney General after the midterm elections and recused

himself from the investigation into the Trump campaign's ties

to Russia.
