Karl Racine

On February 11, Donald Trump Jr. was deposed as part of a lawsuit alleging the misuse of inaugural funds for former President Donald Trump, two months after former White House advisor Ivanka Trump was deposed in the same case. Washington, D.C., Attorney General Karl Racine sued the Trump Inaugural Committee and the Trump Organization in January 2020 for abusing over $1 million nonprofit funds to enrich the Trump family.

Court filings show that AG Racine's office, that Trump Jr.'s testimony "raised further questions about the nature of" an invoice related to the inauguration and "revealed evidence that Defendants had not yet produced to the District."

President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump was questioned under oath on Tuesday as a part of an ongoing lawsuit from the Washington, D.C., attorney general, alleging the misuse of not-for-profit funds at President Trump's inauguration. Ivanka Trump has called the case "another politically motivated demonstration of vindictiveness and waste of taxpayer dollars."

District of Columbia (DC) Attorney General Karl Racine alleges that the Trump Organization and the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC) misused over $1 million by "grossly overpaying" Trump's Washington hotel.
