"Over the weekend, ABC News, a subsidiary of Disney, agreed to donate $15 million to a registered charity associated with Donald Trump's presidential "foundation and museum."

The settlement includes a specific provision ensuring that the monies will be held in escrow until the IRS has officially recognized the museum as a 501(c)(3) charity.
