Eric Trump retreated to Fox News' Hannity -- hosted by his father’s biggest media sycophant -- to lash out after Forbes reported that charitable activity by the Eric Trump Foundation “seems to defy federal tax rules and state laws that ban self-dealing and misleading donors.”

According to Forbes, filings show that through Eric’s annual charity event hosted at a Trump golf course, the Trump Organization has received more than $1.2 million. In addition, the Donald J. Trump Foundation “apparently used the Eric Trump Foundation to funnel $100,000 in donations into revenue for the Trump Organization,” and more than $500,000 in donations to the Eric Trump Foundation “was re-donated to other charities, many of which were connected to Trump family members or interests.” Eric had previously stated that his charitable activity has little overhead because it uses Trump Organization “assets 100% free of charge." President Donald Trump himself was scrutinized during the campaign, mostly by The Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold, for apparent self-dealing with his foundation.

After Forbes published its report about the potentially illegal activity, Eric appeared on Fox News' Hannity and lashed out against the media and Democrats, claiming he was being “attacked” because “morality is just gone” and because Democrats “don’t have a message, they don’t have leadership, so they obstruct.” Host Sean Hannity chimed in, claiming that opponents are unfairly targeting Trump’s children because “they want to delegitimize his presidency, they want to stop his agenda, and if they can, they want to impeach him.”
