According to a report from the Daily Beast, while Donald Trump and his family were reeling from a New York Times report that the Trump Organization's accounting firm was severing ties with the company while casting doubts about the past ten year's worth of financial statements, the family suffered another sting blow in a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C.

As the Beast's Jose Pagliery reported, the Trump organization -- and specifically Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump -- are now facing the prospect of going to trial in a case involving the misuse of inauguration donations back in 2017.

According to the report, Washington D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine is seeking to take Donald Trump and members of his family to court over more than a million dollars that the prosecutor maintains was used illegally.

I can still remember Maddow asking ...what did they do with all that money, watch this space

[JI7]

1. This might explain Eric Trump's appearance on Hannity yesterday

[2Gingersnaps]

31. BWAH HA HA

Apparently Eric is sweating. I got a 12 hour suspension from twitter for "EricTrump Please hold your breath until Durham saves you grifters from your own corruption. Apparently the old idiom of "hold your breath until that happens- used to tell someone not to expect something to happen for a very long time, was an incitement to self harm. Or so according to Twitter administrators.

Yet somehow according to Trump "Robert Durham" has the proof that requires Hillary Clinton to be hung for treason is not stochastic terrorism along the lines of "hang Mike Pence."

39. I got 30 days FB jail for telling people they CANT chase & shoot a burglar.

But you COULD if they were entering your house while you were in it.

[SeattleVet]

42. Looked like he got into his brother's coke stash.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Money went to off shore accounts for when these aholes have to flee the country.

[OldBaldy1701E]

4. Which is still my number one concern! (n/t)

[Diraven]

19. At least they will be gone

They'll probably still find some way to stay on Twitter and Fox News though

[OldBaldy1701E]

50. I know right? (n/t)

[LiberalFighter]

44. If that happens hopefully they will not be that friendly.

And they will likely feel depressed living in a foreign country.

[OldBaldy1701E]

49. After seeing the support that orange gibbon has in other countries...

I am not so sure about that. The thought that someone as slimy and vacuous as he is enjoying foreign fans is scary, even if they keep him. And, they can, as far as I am concerned!

[LiberalFighter]

51. How would those foreign countries benefit? Would they waste time with them?

[lame54]

57. These assholes ALWAYS reappear...

It's called Newt Gingrich Syndrome

They only stop when they finally(which seems to take forever) pass away

That's called Pat Buchanan Syndrome

[raccoon]

20. Wouldn't it have to be a shithole country? Nt

[bluecollar2]

22. He's already in a suitable country,,,

the banana Republic of Florida.

[Farmer-Rick]

3. It went to buy Malaria

New clothes. That "I Don't Care. Do You?" Coat was paid for with inauguration donations.

[jaxexpat]

8. Perfect point.

Hopefully we'll find that, when it comes to the notoriety of the accused, the prosecution doesn't care either.

[George II]

11. Perhaps a new set of "kidneys"?

[Hekate]

55. No, we taxpayers paid for them

[C Moon]

5. What a disgusting family.

[liberalla]

18. The family that crimes together does time together...

at least I hope they do!

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

35. Nice one!

[msfiddlestix]

6. I stumbled on the clip yesterday with Donnie Jr rage ranting high on somethin'....

don't know what he was jacked up on, but boy howdy.

he needs a serious time out in a padded cell. but then, so does his dad.

hope the prosecutor does his job well. these life long grifters need a serious legal "flogging"... and be bankrupted to oblivion.

imo.

[trusty elf]

25. He rage rants along party lines

[msfiddlestix]

27. bwaaaaaaaaha... good one. :)

[CentralMass]

33. :-)

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

36. Great play on words there!

I just got on and this is my second hearty laugh already!

[calimary]

52. Good Grief, he's ugly.

Hard to say if it’s strictly physical, by itself, or what we all know about him, or maybe a combination of the two.

[turbinetree]

53. Well it is a good thing I didn't gave my gin and tonic in my hand.........

[Tommymac]

7. Sending the Spawn to Jail will cause TFG's little mouthanus to spew all sorts of confessions

And I for one will be laughing my ass off as he melts down into a pool of baby diarrhea.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

37. I SO want him to be forced to testify on the witness stand one day!

He'd make Captain Queeg look as sane and rational as Ward Cleaver.

[malthaussen]

9. This is good, but...

... at this point in media history, can anything Trump get a fair trial? Surely any jurors in the land are prejudiced one way or the other, and a judge would be hard-pressed to be impartial.

10. Criminal grifters do not see themselves breaking the law...

They see themselves as geniuses at making money. How they do it has never been a problem.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Only a million? It was a $100+ million inauguration and that was way too much for what it was. .nt

[FakeNoose]

14. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff wrote a tell-all book "Melania and Me"

She was Melania's senior staffer until she was fired in 2018, and later blamed for mismanaging funds during the 2017 inauguration. Well the book tells another story altogether, it was the Chump kids who siphoned money off the donated funds. I'll bet Ms. Wolkoff will be called as a witness if this goes to trial.

15. Whew!...the Trumps are having a real bad week...

And it’s only Tuesday!

[c-rational]

16. Let anvils rain from the sky on this deserving family.

[keithbvadu2]

21. Sheesh! Rough, but... Good one!

[Botany]

17. So I guess TFG's kids weren't alloweed to use funds for the inauguration as ther personal kitty.

[BlueWavePsych]

23. K&R

[hippywife]

24. I just hope

that something finally comes of all of this and these grifters are forced to pay, and not just fines. Fines affect the poor, not the rich.

[Vinca]

26. Is this actually a criminal trial and not a civil trial? Is there even the slightest chance of

seeing Princess, Junior and Gums in orange jumpsuits?

[tishaLA]

28. It's way, way more than $1 million

Probably more in the $50 million or more range.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

38. Yes, the Trumps never do anything in a small way.

[Martin68]

29. Whole flocks of chickens coming home to roost.

[Joinfortmill]

41. 👍

[Faygo Kid]

30. When is AG Merrick Garland going to get involved???

He has been AWOL. Wish RFK was still AG. He was a fighter for us.

[Lucky Luciano]

32. He'll be along any minute.

[Silent3]

61. Now, now!

We can't have any of that unreasonable impatience for timely justice here! These things take time™.

[CentralMass]

34. I hope that something will eventually stick.

[Joinfortmill]

40. Multiple court cases, no accountants, soon no attorneys

Worth a damn.

[The Jungle 1]

43. Can we dance yet?

When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Everybody ran as they screamed at the sound
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
When the walls came tumbling down
Nobody made a sound
(Down, down, down)
Down

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

[BigmanPigman]

45. He is a mob boss, not a POTUS.

A crime family if there ever was one.

[turbinetree]

54. I can't wait for the media to catch up and call him convicted .........

[Cha]

46. trump Spawn.. children of the

corn

[lindysalsagal]

47. I just hope we get to know which frumper rats out the others, first.

Because I assume they will all point fingers.

[Lucinda]

48. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[COL Mustard]

56. I'm just glad the beast doesn't still have Twitter

Can you imagine???? He must be close to stroking out.

[BootinUp]

58. Assuming it is proven in court

what kind of penalties can WE look forward to?

[sarcasmo]

59. If I remember right, didn't one of Melania's friends get 26 million for "catering?"

[samplegirl]

60. Let it be so!

Why should they all just fade off into their mansions?

[C Moon]

62. After they are tried in a court of law, I hope the whole family is hung from the nearest tree.
