Then-President-elect Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka were warned in 2016 that the family business was overcharging the nonprofit presidential inaugural committee and let it happen anyway, according to a suit filed Wednesday by the Washington, D.C., attorney general.
In the civil complaint, Attorney General Karl Racine charged the Trump inaugural committee and the Trump Organization with using around $1 million of charitable funds to improperly enrich the Trump family.
An experienced event planner who was working for the inaugural, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, raised concerns directly with Donald and Ivanka Trump that the Trump International Hotel in Washington was trying to overcharge the inaugural committee.
Winston Wolkoff met with President-elect Trump and Ivanka Trump and discussed these concerns with both individuals, the suit says. The President-elect acknowledged these concerns and directed that Ivanka Trump would handle this issue.

But I also believe she's too stupid, too clueless, too downright dumb have been aware of it.
If I were her lawyer in any future case against her, I would ask the court to recognize innocent by reason of complete vacuousness as a legitimate legal defense.

(11,317 posts)but I though conventional wisdom was that she was the "pick of the litter" in more respects than just good looks. Sounds like you don't agree?

(53,410 posts)its obvious that everything about her is rehearsed. And I mean everything. The way she moves, walks, talks and her smiles, each one different for whatever occasion. She was a model for a while and it shows, just like it does with all professional models. Melania has those moves also. Theyre identical in a lot of ways. In the ways models are identical.
All of this was noticeable years ago. Long before he was president.

(6,688 posts)Playing the dumb sexpot blonde has helped her all her life. She is so good people believe it. She gets away with a lot of criminal behavior that way. Not to mention manipulating daddy and his rich friends.

(27,815 posts)I dispute the idea that she's smart enough to know that she's dumb.
