Another day, another piece of Trump corruption moves forward in the courts:

A judge denied a bid Wednesday to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that President Donald Trump's inaugural committee and the Trump Organization misused nonprofit funds to enrich the president's family business.
The suit, brought by Washington, D.C., Attorney General Karl Racine in January, alleges that the president's inaugural committee was aware that it was being overcharged for services at Trump's Washington hotel in 2017 and still spent over $1 million at the hotel, including money for a private party for Trump's three older children.
The inaugural committee argued in part that Racine's office failed to show a violation of the Nonprofit Act and does not allege that the committee is "continuing to act" in a manner that violates the law, court papers say.
But D.C. Superior Court Judge José López ruled against the defendants, writing that Racine's office has "sufficiently alleged that Defendant PIC is continuing to act in a prohibited manner," referring to the Trump inaugural committee.
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who organized the inauguration, provided tens of thousands of electronic documents to Racine's office, which were used to support the lawsuit's allegations.
"It's important that the truth come out and justice be served," Winston Wolkoff said Wednesday.
At this point the entire Trump Re-election Campaign is about covering up the crimes he and his cronies have committed. That is literally why it exists.
Either covering up the crimes or delaying the ultimate legal reckoning for them, if they cannot be covered up.
"What are your plans for a 2nd term, Mr. President?"
"Well, I expect I can stay out of jail for those 4 years, at least. And I want to get that Constitutional Amendment changed."
"Which one, Mr. President?"
"The one which restricts me to two terms. As you may know, my friend Vlad got his Constitution changed to allow him to remain in pow--, I mean in office. As great a president as I have been, it's clear that I deserve a third term, even without the fact that the Democrat Party stole too much of this first term, so I should get a do-over, anyway!"
(Dialog mostly made up, but representative of reality. Or as Michael Cohen says, "Trump means it," when he talks about more than two terms.)
