Court Accuses Trump of Creating Phony Foundation to Divert Kennedy Center Donations

What was said

"Trump's always setting up these phony foundations to sit between the real party in interest that needs the money and divert money away from the congressionally funded project. He just did it with the 4th of July, right? The America 250 Fund was created by Congress in a bipartisan way to run the 4th of July and celebrations about 250. He set up a Freedom 250 and then started diverting money to it, including giving phony wire instructions."

The appeals court revealed that Trump's team created a Trump Kennedy Center Foundation that promised donors their money would be returned if Trump's name was removed from the building, potentially diverting funds from the congressionally funded center. The host draws parallels to Trump's alleged creation of Freedom 250 to divert money from the congressionally created America 250 Fund using "phony wire instructions," according to House Democrats. The court rejected this foundation argument because it was never raised in district court proceedings.
