N.Y. ATTORNEY GENERAL OPENS INQUIRY INTO TRUMP

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has opened an inquiry into the Donald J. Trump Foundation after a series of transactions caught the agency’s attention, a source familiar with the matter said.

Schneiderman told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead” he is looking into the charity to ensure it’s operating in compliance. “It’s complying with the laws governing charities in New York.”

“We’ve had correspondence with them,” he said. “I didn’t make a big deal out of it or hold a press conference.”
