*NEW* @NewYorkStateAG filing: "the Trump Foundation was a shell corporation that functioned as a checkbook," used to benefit Trump's business and political interests.

Here's the full filing, opposing Trump's motion to dismiss AG Underwood's lawsuit

The filing (opposing Trump's motion to dismiss) includes a good rundown of the ways Trump willfully used the foundation to fund his political and business activities - from the Iowa fundraiser, to the infamous $10k Mar-A-Lago painting, and more.

AG Underwood also responds to Trump's claims that he's protected by the Supremacy Clause (spoiler: he's not).

They were the biggest contributors to it. Linda McMahon bought that Cabinet spot.
