You think it was ignored? It was investigated by state Attorney's General and eventually shut down under court supervision and all its assets were distributed to court approved charities and Trump paid a $2M judgement.

I think what was ignored was the hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign government donations made to the Secretary Of State's family foundation in violation of State Department rules. The New York Times even opined that it was unclear where the foundation ended and the State Department began. Judicial Watch diligently investigated and the FBI attempted to make a case against the foundation but the investigation was shut down by the Obama Justice Department and everyone chose to forget all about it.

All that aside though, I think the most telling thing was the fact that pretty much all donations foreign and domestic dried up within days of the 2016 election. In it's day, that operation dwarfed the Trump foundation in size and scope and yet no one will take a closer look. Weird huh?
