Eric Trump responds to explosive claims his family 'profited from children's cancer charity'

Eric Trump has hit back at allegations that his father took money intended for childhood cancer research and poured them into his own businesses by charging his son to hold charity events at a family-owned golf course. Donald Trump’s second oldest son has found himself at the centre of a new controversy after it was reported that the Eric Trump Foundation paid the Trump Organisation - the group which holds the President’s business interests around the world - more than $1.2m over six years to use its properties. Eric Trump has raised more than $11m over 10 years for the St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Tennessee, largely by hosting golf tournaments through his Eric Trump Foundation, Forbes reported.
