A judge in New York ordered President Donald Trump on Nov. 7 to pay $2 million to settle a lawsuit that alleged Trump misused his charitable foundation during the 2016 campaign.

Judge Saliann Scarpulla said that New York Attorney General Letitia James and the Trump Foundation already entered into several stipulations after James brought the case, including a final stipulation in which Trump agreed to reimburse $11,525 to the Foundation for the Foundation’s payment of auction items at a charitable benefit, and to pay any additional amount that may be owed in connection with this proceeding, which would be set by Scarpulla.
