Waters, a California Democrat and chair of the House Financial Services Committee, said she received a letter that may contain a lead relating to the Trump Foundation.
Representative Maxine Waters wants to explore in greater detail President Donald Trump’s now-defunct charitable foundation over tax evasion concerns in the wake of the congressional testimony by Michael Cohen, his former fixer and personal attorney.
Waters, who is leading a campaign to impeach Trump, also said she received a letter"from somebody who told me about a situation that they want to talk with me more about.” Her committee is already investigating Trump’s finances. That conduct includes “extensive unlawful political coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions to benefit Mr. Trump’s personal and business interests, and violations of basic legal obligations for nonprofit foundations.”
And he alleged that Trump instructed a “fake bidder” at an auction to purchase a portrait of himself and then reimbursed them through his nonprofit, the Trump Foundation.
