The judge, citing Trump’s agreement with James, also declined New York’s request for Trump to pay more than $5 million in damages. New York Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla said a lower amount was justified because the money Trump’s campaign improperly distributed had ultimately made its way to charitable causes. New York had sought restitution of $2.8 million plus interest. The settlements also require mandatory training for Trump’s children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump, who were on the charity’s board. Trump also agreed to restrictions on future charitable service and to alert James’s office if he starts another charity. Under the deals, she said, Trump “admits to personally misusing funds at the Trump Foundation.“ New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, said in a statement on Thursday that she had separately reached a series of agreements with Trump and his charity to resolve the state’s claims without a trial. “I am the only person I know, perhaps the only person in history, who can give major money to charity ($19M), charge no expense and be attacked by the political hacks in New York State," Trump tweeted Thursday.
