The New York attorney general has served the Trump Foundation with a cease-and-desist order that requires it to stop fundraising in New York, alleging it is not properly registered in the state.

“The failure immediately to discontinue solicitation and to file information and reports ... with the Charities Bureau shall be deemed to be a continuing fraud upon the people of the state of New York,” according to a letter dated 30 September that the attorney general’s office posted online.
