Truly a reach on the part of the DC attorney. What's left is a shell.

A superior court judge has dismissed a portion of a 2017 inauguration lawsuit against the Trump Organization. D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine brought the lawsuit forward, alleging that Trump’s inaugural committee “wasted” $1 million renting ballrooms at Trump’s DC hotel.
Judge José López held that the plaintiff didn’t reach the “extreme burden” needed to prove a “waste” claim.
“In short, there is no genuine dispute that the value paid for the space at the Trump Hotel reaches the extreme burden that Plaintiff need to carry a waste claim to its fruition,” López wrote.
ABC News reported:
The Trump Organization secured a partial victory on Monday as a Washington, D.C., superior court judge [Lopez] dismissed a portion of a lawsuit brought by the D.C. attorney general over actions by former President Donald Trump’s 2017 Presidential Inaugural Committee.
But López did allow the case to proceed, in part, on the claim of “private inurement” — the question of whether the inaugural committee used their funds for private benefit and not for nonprofit purposes — which means the case could proceed to trial.
The ruling removed the Trump Organization as a named defendant in the case, yet still keeps the former president’s Washington hotel as a named defendant, as well as the inaugural committee itself.
