This didn't even make the front page . . .

"President" pays $2 million to charities in settlement with NY AG for misuse of charitable foundation. Do you remember when the NYT had articles every day about the Clinton Foundation, that started with ominous sounding allegations and you finally found out in paragraph 15 that they weren't true? That and best e-mail management practices were the most important issues facing the country during the 2016 campaign. Let us suppose not just any other president, but any politician, at any level, did this:

As part of the settlement, Mr. Trump, who at first dismissed the suit as a political attack, made 19 detailed admissions, acknowledging, for example, that the foundation had purchased the $10,000 portrait of himself that was ultimately displayed at one of his Florida hotels.

He admitted to using the foundation’s money to settle obligations of some of his for-profit companies, including a golf club in Westchester County, N.Y., and Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Florida which he frequently visits.

And he admitted that the foundation had given his presidential campaign control over about $2.8 million that the foundation had raised at a veterans fund-raiser in Iowa in January 2016. Mr. Trump acknowledged the fund-raiser was in fact a campaign event.

I'm not sure why the AG didn't prosecute this as a criminal matter, ditto for Trump University. Last I heard, fraud was against the law.

As for best e-mail management practices, one of the facts adduced in the House impeachment inquiry, which was of no interest to the NYT whatsoever, is that the former foundation sponsor in question talked with his ambassador to the EU over an unsecured cell phone, in a restaurant, in a city crawling with Russian spies.  Apparently he talks on unsecured cell phones all the time, but who cares, right?

The NYT story was not on the front page, and I can't find it at all on the web sites of the major news networks. It might as well not have happened.
