Trump Fined $2 Million Over Fishy Veterans Fundraiser
Generally speaking, it’s not great to take money meant for soldiers and use it for your political campaign instead.nymag.com
What actually happened, from the article you linked:
Though the campaign took charge of the $2.8 million raised at the fundraiser — in violation of the law, which restricted it to the foundation — the money did eventually make its way to veterans groups, as promised. The $2 million Trump was ordered to pay on Thursday, meanwhile, will go to organizations like the United Negro College Fund and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Another NY Judge and prosecutor decided to get some. More lawfare.
