Quote:Pay for play? Trump Foundation funds reportedly used to cozy up to right-wing groups
Quote:Donald Trump used donations from his personal foundation to establish relationships with right-wing groups ahead of his candidacy for president, says a new report. Individuals with ties to Trump say that he began making “strategic donations” as far back as 2011 in order to ingratiate himself to organizations that might be skeptical of his conservative bona fides should he make a presidential run.
While the report published Tuesday by Real Clear Politics was careful not to explicitly call the relationships a quid pro quo “pay-to-play” arrangement, Trump was using funds from the Trump Foundation in ways that may violate IRS rules.
