The Wall Street Journal breaks down how President-elect Trump uses shell companies to avoid taxes. For instance, 15 of his entities own five aircraft.

Behind Trump's clearly-unprovable tweets that "millions of people" voted illegally during the election—giving Hillary the popular vote—is his desire for you not to read this extensive look by the New York Times at how Trump has started to mess with American diplomacy and foreign policy by not immediately, and legally, distancing himself from his company.

Copies of the Trump Foundation's 2015 filings posted to GuideStar show the "charity" admitting to self-dealing—that is, using charity money to directly benefit now-President-elect Trump and his family.

The Trump Organization is, not particularly surprisingly, notorious for destroying documents relevant to ongoing court cases, and for not responding to standard discovery requests from opposing lawyers.

BuzzFeed News obtains copies of three of Trump's bankruptcy filings and the court depositions that came with them.

Between 2011 and 2014, Trump spent nearly $300,000 from his Foundation's coffers to lay the infrastructure for his presidential run, sometimes—obviously—breaking FEC rules.

Related: New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has issued a cease and desist letter to the Foundation to force it to stop fundraising, after the Washington Post reported that it does not have the proper credentials to solicit money from the public.

The Trump Organization spent thousands unsuccessfully trying to break into the Cuban market in the late '90s, violating the trade embargo and potentially alienating Cuban-Americans in Florida, a huge bloc whose older voters are strongly pro-embargo.

Employees at Trump's golf courses in Southern California now know to only staff hot hostesses when Trump comes to visit. Otherwise, Trump will take restaurant managers aside and say the women working there "aren't pretty enough."

The Trump Foundation has used over $250,000 of other people's money to pay off settlements from lawsuits against Trump's other assets.

This amount joins some $120,000 the Foundation spent on a dinner with Salma Hayek for Trump that he never attended—not to mention the $8 million-plus the Trump campaign has paid out to various Trump-owned for-profit businesses.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who previously filed a pending lawsuit against Trump University in 2013, began "making inquiries" into the Trump Foundation, Trump's nonprofit "charity," this week.

The Foundation has been at the center of a long-brewing controversy surrounding a solicited $25,000 check it wrote to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi just after she began making inquiries about joining Schneiderman's suit against Trump U, which she eventually "nixed." The Foundation, as a nonprofit, is forbidden to make political donations, and paid a $2,500 penalty to the IRS for breaking tax law. However, a copy of the check released by Schneiderman to the Times appears to undercut allegations that Trump paid Bondi explicitly to not investigate Trump U, as it was signed by Trump four days before a report in the Orlando Sentinel revealed Bondi was considering looking into joining Schneiderman's suit, though she received it four days after the article was published.

It's questionable, though, whether the Foundation, which Trump claims is the conduit through which he's donated millions of dollars, even conducts charitable work. A Washington Post review of 250 charities and organizations Trump has publicly promised donations to found few of them ever received the money. Since 2008, all of the money that it has received has come from other people (mostly WWE chairman Vince McMahon, who has a fascinating history with Trump), allowing him to take credit for the few donations it has made without contributing any of his own money and was used to pay for a $12,000 football helmet signed by Tim Tebow and a $20,000 portrait of…Trump.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who has sued Trump University and is "making inquiries" into the nonprofit Trump Foundation, has declined to require the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative, both nonprofits based in New York, to name the foreign governments it has accepted donations from, in violation of New York tax law. A review of New York charity tax disclosure forms found lax compliance with the law, which Schneiderman, who has donated the maximum personal amount to Clinton's campaign and sits on its New York state "leadership council," cited to Scripps News as the reason why it is declining to force the Clinton nonprofits to disclose foreign donations.

The Clinton Foundation now lists foreign donors on its website, but the Health Access Initiative does not and has not, as the Foundation has, promised to stop accepting money from foreign governments if Clinton is elected president.

The Trump Organization's business dealings (and failings) with politically-connected figures in India, Turkey, Russia, South Korea, the UAE, Libya, Azerbaijan, and other countries would, upon Trump taking office, immediately force President Trump to make decisions that could hurt his wallet in one way and American interests in the other.
