The Manhattan district attorney’s office is expected to charge the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg with tax-related crimes on Thursday. The pending charges will not implicate former President Donald Trump according to his attorney.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

The Trump Organization and Mr. Weisselberg are expected to face charges related to allegedly evading taxes on fringe benefits, the people said. For months, the Manhattan district attorney’s office and New York state attorney general’s office have been investigating whether Mr. Weisselberg and other employees illegally avoided paying taxes on perks—such as cars, apartments and private-school tuition—that they received from the Trump Organization.

A sole focus on fringe benefits would be unusual, former prosecutors said. It is rare to charge an individual or company for failure to pay taxes on employee benefits alone, though such charges are used as part of larger cases. Some lawyers said that if prosecutors were going after the Trump Organization for fringe benefits alone, when few other companies face such charges, it would risk making the probe look biased.

Others said charges could be a tactic to further pressure Mr. Weisselberg, who has rejected prosecutors’ efforts to gain his cooperation, the people said.

Mr. Trump, a Republican, has denied wrongdoing and said the investigations, conducted by offices led by Democrats, are politically motivated. Earlier this week, he said in a statement that the case is composed of “things that are standard practice throughout the U.S. business community, and in no way a crime.”



  1. Democrats are the most disgusting, vile, evil individuals you will ever meet in your life. When are the Dems going to be held accountable for the numerous crimes they have committed and get away with. The FBI and the DOJ are useless organizations. They ignore the Crimes being committed by this fucked up administration.

    1. TODAYS THREE LETTER AGENCIES ARE BOTH COMPLICIT AND INTERWOVEN CRIMINALLY IN THAT CULT DEMONIC ADMINISTRATION!!

  2. And who is surprised by these NYC slime devils going after DJT with vile hatred? I question their motives and declare them suspect.

  3. Those are bogus charges, pay taxes on a gift…the TRUMP organization already paid the tax when they bought the car or the apartment now they want to tax the same item twice while they were gifted the already paid taxed item, BO’s wife big Mike got a nice jewelry item from Melania TRUMP it was on video, big mike should be ready to receive the same charges we doubt pay any taxes to NY.

  4. All big companies and wealthy people use tax loopholes so start looking at these other people for the same crime if there is one.
    Why hasn’t Clinton Foundation been investigated for the same.

  5. None of this has anything to do with the law. This is all about keeping Trump from running AND WINNING in 2024

  6. SOUNDS LIKE THE SPOKEN “PATRIOT TAX” (demoncrats and rhino establishment ploy) IN WHICH ANYONE WITH ANYTHING OF SUGGESTED VALUE, EVEN AFTER PURCHASE TAXES WILL BE MANDATED TO PAY EVEN MORE EXTORTIONING AND LAUNDERING TAXES…OFF THE BACKS OF HARD WORKING PEOPLE!!!

  7. Of COURSE this is politically motivated. What about tax evasion by democrats? Am SURE there’s PLENTY to look into!
