What’s the current status of the Trump Foundation? Is it still shut down due to the New York state investigation?

That only shows the initial complaint, though. What happened after the 15 days mentioned in the complaint?

I believe that the New York AG’s complaint only applied to donations from donations withing the State of New York and had no effect to donations from other states/countries. I do not believe that the foundation was ‘shut down’.
