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 Trumpās inaugural committee āwastedā $1 million renting ballrooms at Trumpās DC hotel.
Judge JosĆ© LĆ³pez held that the plaintiff didnāt reach the āextreme burdenā needed to prove a āwasteā claim.
āIn 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,ā LĆ³pez 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 Trumpās 2017 Presidential Inaugural Committee.
But LĆ³pez did allow the case to proceed, in part, on the claim of āprivate inurementā ā the question of whether the inaugural committee used their funds for private benefit and not for nonprofit purposes ā 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 presidentās Washington hotel as a named defendant, as well as the inaugural committee itself.
