New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood has announced that the Trump Foundation will dissolve. The foundation was established by Donald Trump well before he ran for president.

The news comes as her office continues its investigation into various questions about the foundation’s conduct, including whether the foundation broke the law by coordinating with Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and whether it was truly functioning as a charitable organization.
