10/ The misrepresentations led to a state investigation, infuriating Eric. “If Donald Trump were a Democrat, and if my name was Malia or Sasha, I would have been given the Nobel Peace Prize."

Here's the full story, which goes inside the investigation. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

9/ The irony is that Eric Trump had a good story to tell. He raised a lot of money and worked to get discounted rates. But he couldn't help himself from embellishing things, pitching his organization as "the model of charity, the model of efficiency in this country."

8/ The misrepresentations went beyond media interviews. Here is an program for the Eric Trump Foundation fundraiser, in which Eric criticizes other charities for racking up expenses on events and performers, promising that "St. Jude receives virtually all the monies raised."

7/ I also asked Eric Trump about the auctions at his fundraisers. Was that stuff all donated, or where did he get it? "Yeah, it was donated," he said. But the charity had actually paid at least $65,000 to companies that stock such auctions. Here's a sampling of the checks.

6/ In fact, Eric Trump signed tens of thousands of dollars worth of checks to bring in entertainers, including Bret Michaels, Dee Snider, Gilbert Gottfried and Lisa Lampanelli.

5/ I asked Eric Trump whether his foundation had to pay the performers who came to his fundraisers. Many of them had been on The Celebrity Apprentice. "They did it for free," Eric told me.

4/ The Eric Trump Foundation also paid Trump properties beyond the club that hosted its annual golf invitational. The president's son also signed checks to Trump SoHo, a hotel in Manhattan, and to Mar-a-Lago.
