A New York judge on Thursday ordered President Donald Trump to pay $2 million to an array of charities to resolve a lawsuit alleging he misused his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests. Judge Saliann Scarpulla said Trump breached his fiduciary duty to the Trump Foundation by allowing his campaign staff to plan a fundraiser for veterans' charities in the run-up to the 2016 Iowa caucuses.

Hi, we're Sara Swann and Geoff West from The Fulcrum. We cover democracy reform issues like big money in politics, voter suppression and civic education.

We think our democracy is broken, and we're doing our part to help it work better for everyone. There are lots of different ways folks are trying to make that happen, and we cover all of those efforts.

We're reporters based in Washington, DC and have been following the presidential candidates in their platforms to reform our democracy. Whether that's voting rights, SCOTUS, the Electoral College or draining the swamp, we've spent time digging deep into what the candidates have to say.

Not everything they say is even possible, though. A lot of the candidates have plans around democracy reform issues — not that they've talked about them during the debates. But don't worry, we know all about them. So… ask away.
