President Trump’s foundation took in nearly $3 million in donations in 2016, according to a new tax filing. The March 2017 payment came after New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, a Democrat, launched an investigation into how the Donald J. Trump Foundation collects and disburses funds. Amanda Miller, a spokeswoman for the Trump Organization, said Monday that Trump’s foundation is cooperating with the investigation. The reimbursement from the golf course relates to payment the Trump Foundation made to settle a lawsuit against the Westchester club. In its latest tax filing, the Trump Foundation said the golf course had raised the $158,000 largely by auctioning off a membership.
