Trump Lawyer Jay Sekulow Now Under Investigation In Two States Over Diverting $60M In Charity Donations

The Guardian reports:

Authorities in two states are looking into a nonprofit led by an attorney to Donald Trump, after the Guardian reported it had steered tens of millions of dollars to the attorney, his family and their businesses.

Josh Stein, the attorney general of North Carolina, and Eric Schneiderman, the attorney general of New York, said on Wednesday they would be examining the operations of Jay Sekulow’s group Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism (CASE).

Stein said in a statement: “The reports I’ve read are troubling. My office is looking into this matter.” Amy Spitalnick, a spokeswoman for Schneiderman, said in an email: “We’re reviewing their filings.”

The Democratic state law enforcement officials acted following the disclosure that CASE and an affiliate have since 2000 paid more than $60M in compensation and contracts to Sekulow, his relatives and companies where they hold senior roles.

It finally took associating with Trump for Sekulow to get the kind of attention LGBT activists have been screaming about for years.
