Feds unlikely to charge Trump Organization execs in campaign finance case: report
By Tal Axelrod - 07/12/19 08:45 PM EDT

A federal probe into whether Trump Organization officials broke campaign finance laws appears to be nearing its conclusion without any charges filed, CNN reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Federal prosecutors have been investigating whether company executives broke the law, including when they sought to reimburse former Trump attorney Michael Cohen for hush-money payments he made to women who said they’d had affairs with President Trump before he was elected.


People familiar with the probe told CNN that the investigation has geared down and prosecutors do not appear poised to bring any charges against the company’s employees.

Prosecutors first requested interviews with company executives in January, according to CNN, one month after Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison, partially over the payments. However, the interviews reportedly never took place.

There has also been no communication between the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office and the Trump Organization in over five months, one person familiar with the matter told CNN. There is no indication that the case has been officially closed.

5 Months?  That's when Bill Barr took over.

The case will never close because you can't talk about an on going investigation.
