LINK A Melania Trump event is being investigated after promising proceeds to a charity that doesn't appear to exist, report says

A charity event hosted by Melania Trump is being investigated after organizers said a portion of ticket proceeds would go to a charity that doesn't appear to exist, The New York Times reported.

Trump is due to appear at a "high tea" event in April in Naples, Florida, which organizers say will "benefit Fostering the Future, a Be Best initiative," which gives computer science scholarships to those aging out of the foster care system.

Regular tickets cost $3,000 and limited VIP tickets cost $50,000 each. It's unclear what percentage of the proceeds will go to charity.

According to The New York Times, no charity with the name "Fostering the Future" or "Be Best" is registered in Florida.

BB Bitch: My name is right there in the charity's name.
Investigator: That says Melanoma Society.
BB Bitch: Tsk. Those jokers always misspell my name.

Why don’t they just call it “fill my pockets so I can dump Trump” charity?

The paper work is "in the mail/works."
