* A nonprofit connected to the future Donald Trump Presidential Library has gone inactive, **leaving questions about where its funds have gone.**
* The Donald Trump Presidential Library Fund Inc. **was set up last December following a $15 million dollar donation from ABC News to contribute toward a presidential library.**
* **But that nonprofit went dark in late September. It failed to file an annual report and was labeled “inactive” by the Florida Division of Corporations on September 26, as first reported by OpenSecrets, the Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group that tracks the influence of money on politics.**
* This came just four days before the Florida Cabinet voted to give away prime downtown Miami real estate owned by Miami Dade College for the purpose of building a Trump Library.
* **It’s unknown how much money in donations the Fund had on hand, as it was not required to disclose that amount.**
* The Fund only filed two documents with the Division of Corporations: articles of incorporation on Dec. 20, 2024, and an amendment to those articles on February 17. In that amendment, the Fund added language saying that if the entity ever dissolved, its assets **may** be distributed to the federal or local governments for a public purpose.
* Shortly thereafter, the Trump family opened a new nonprofit in May with a nearly identical name to the fund: The Donald Trump Presidential Library Foundation, Inc.
* The Foundation was named as the recipient of the downtown Miami land given away by the Florida Cabinet. Eric Trump, the president’s son, is a named trustee of the Foundation.
* **A Miami-Dade County judge recently temporarily blocked the land transfer for the library.**
* The temporary injunction is part of an ongoing lawsuit filed by Miami historian and activist Marvin Dunn. He argues Miami Dade College’s Board of Trustees did not adequately inform the public about its plan to give away the plot of land next to the Freedom Tower, thus violating Florida’s public disclosure laws.
**EDITED TO ADD:** “In December 2024, ABC News agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle a defamation lawsuit. The settlement resolves a suit Trump filed against ABC and anchor George Stephanopoulos for inaccurate comments made during a broadcast. ” (Inaccurate per Trump’s “lawyer”!)

Trump non profit with shady finances and potentially fraudulent behavior? I can’t believe it. He’s been so ethical up to this point.

So the trumps funneled a donation to a now-shuttered nonprofit with no receipts, but also coincidently started another nonprofit with a near-identical sounding name months ago. Both for the same stated purpose?
The magas are stealing billions of dollars in broad daylight, but somehow an undocumented immigrant with a day job is the enemy.

“Trump” and “non-profit” seems like an oxymoron.

Wasn’t the plane bribe from Qatar supposed to end up at his presidential library? Am I remembering that correctly?
If so, what does that mean for the plane?

Presidential Librairies are legal bribery by design.
Trump used it for legal bribery.
Did he break some “unspoken rules” that no one codified before, including in the 4 years between his Presidencies, when it was clear he would do exactly that?
This is America. This is what tons of other Presidents did flagrantly.
This is not an apology for Trump or a “both sides” thing, it’s just how things always worked in the United States.

Wasn’t this the non profit that the Qatari jet was technically donated to?

They should check DeSantis’s wife’s bank account. $50 million landed in her account that was supposed to go to the state, perhaps library money went there too. Fucking crooks, every single one of them.

Trump’s library will just have books with pictures, no text. The people that would be interested in going in there can’t read.

If you understand that the president is a mob boss all these actions make sense

So; does this mean, Trump stuck his hand into the kitty fund for the library?

The library will end up in a strip mall in West Palm Beach.
