Trump Foundation agrees to dissolve with judge to oversee dispersal to other charities It does not stop the lawsuit by AG's office has filed against the foundation, which was formed in 1987 and that action will continue. "Our petition detailed a shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation - including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more," Underwood said in a statement.

Of course van Spakovsky says that; he's another far-right pundit who would defend Trump if he were strangling puppies on the steps of the White House. Trump appointed him to the infamous "voter fraud panel." He's making a career off terrifying people about the hordes of illegal voters throwing our elections. Not everyone, even on the right, agrees with him: Fox News' Judge Napolitano: We Now Know Trump 'Committed a Felony'

The statement you quote is by the right-wing website writer talking about the study. The quotes from the actual researchers who produced the study, farther down in the body of the article, are much more tentative and nuanced (e.g., "Even if it's ultimately well-intentioned, it could be seen as patronizing."
