Eric and Lara Trump’s insanely lavish lifeis constantly in the news, drawing both criticism and praise.
For example, Eric Trump’s cancer charity is being investigated for misusing donor funds.
The organization received over $2 billion in donations in 2021 alone, but its operating costs are significant.
Eric Trump redirected the funds to other charities, potentially misleading donors about how their money would be spent.
But, according toForbes, many of those charities were connected to the presidential family.
Additionally, donors were misled into believing their money would be used to support St. Jude.
The Eric Trump Foundation allegedly redirected the funds to more than 40 charities unrelated to cancer research.
For example, $15,000 went to a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children born with facial deformities.
In 2016, Eric toldThe Washington Postthat he’d no longer accept donations.
For example,Eric Trump tweetedthat he raised $16.3 million for St. Jude between 2007 and 2016.
The charity confirmed his claims, but the tax records tell a different story.
As it turns out, the actual amount was less than $10 million.
Simply put, its employees can report any illegal or suspicious activity to their immediate supervisors without facing repercussions.
