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.”

He's on Twitter saying Flynn was a witness for a case against a FBI director and that Comey destroyed computer drives for something Obama did. I'll be honest, I can't keep up with fact checking these dudes.

I read several articles about him but the name didn't stick because people like him creep me out. Thanks!
