Trump has agreed to pay $750,000 to settle the lawsuit brought by DC over mishandling of non-profit inauguration funds. Karl Racine, Attorney General for the District of Columbia, called it a victory.
But Jose Pagliery at the Daily Beast has put out a story that the settlement is a win for Trump as he and his cronies (Ivanka, Weisselberg) skate on millions misappropriated, and perjury.

“On Tuesday, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine declared victory after the multibillion-dollar Trump Organization and the former president’s inauguration committee agreed to fork over $750,000 for their shady dealings in the run-up to Donald Trump’s 2017 celebrations in the nation’s capital. The deal ends his years-long investigation into the way Trump’s family and company misused nonprofit funds to honor the incoming president to instead enrich themselves.
But that’s less than the $1 million the AG had accused the Trump family of misspending in nonprofit funds by booking events at the Trump International Hotel Washington D.C.’s vastly overpriced rooms.
More importantly, the Trump Organization and the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee were allowed to maintain they did absolutely nothing wrong.”

If a bank robber steals $2 million dollars, but walks free after paying back $1 million, is that a victory for justice?
