Forbes: Eric Trump Funneled Donations for Children with Cancer to Trump Organization
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new investigation by Forbes has revealed that Donald Trump's son Eric
Trump used his foundation to funnel at least $100,000 in donations for
children with cancer instead into revenue for the for-profit Trump
Organization. The fundraisers were to raise money for the St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. The investigation also reveals
how Eric Trump lied to donors who gathered for the fundraisers at the
Trump National Golf Club in Westchester County, New York, saying that
more money could go to children because he was able to use his father's
golf course for free. In fact, Donald Trump billed his son Eric Trump
for the use of the golf course for the fundraisers.
