Vince McMahon's ousted WWE CEO Vince McMahon made two payments totaling $5 million to the Trump Foundation, coinciding with the ex-president's appearance at WWE functions. McMahon paid the Trump Foundation in 2007 and 2009, according to a securities filing, when the ex president appeared on WWE televised events. Executives now say that the funds came from McMahon directly and that they should have been listed as business expenses because they benefited the company. Since the New York Attorney General discovered that it was misusing money, Trump has now had to dissolve the Trump Foundation.
