By Mychael Schnell - 06/30/21 10:12 AM EDT

The Trump Organization and its CFO Allen Weisselberg are set to be charged with tax-related crimes by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office on Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Weisselberg is the subject of a criminal tax investigation by the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. Prosecutors are reportedly looking into whether benefits given to Weisselberg and other executives were represented in the company's financial record-keeping system and if the company paid taxes on those benefits.

    Prosecutors probing cash bonuses paid to Trump employees: report

The New York Times previously reported that the probe into Weisselberg was entering its final stages. A grand jury has reportedly been hearing evidence against the organization’s longtime executive, and prosecutors are said to have obtained his official tax returns.

They would be the first criminal charges against the former president's company since prosecutors began investigating it three years ago.

The Hill has reached out to the Trump Organization for comment.

I wonder when we can expect New York's AG to look into the Clinton Foundation?

I wonder when we can expect New York's AG to look into the Clinton Foundation?

When the AG decides he wants to swim in the East river with concrete fins.

When the AG decides he wants to swim in the East river with concrete fins.

Now that would be harder than usual for the Clintons to call suicide.

MSNBC’s Melber: Manhattan DA Has ‘Thrown the Kitchen Sink’ at the Trump Organization

MSNBC anchor Ari Melber said Thursday on his networks breaking news coverage of the Manhattan District Attorney’s case against the Trump Organization and CFO Allen Weisselberg that prosecutors threw the kitchen sink at them.

Melber said, “They have thrown the kitchen sink at the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg. This is very bad news for the Trump Organization because the DA’s taken an aggressive tact, indicting the entire Trump Organization in reference to the payroll company and others. If you were the company hoping to pin this on the employee or get out of it as far as the DA is concerned, game over there. They’re going after the whole company. That ensures Donald Trump and others will be drawn out to fight this.”

He added, “There are 15 counts here. This is not one or two counts we were covering initially. The verbal, oral testimony and statements coming out of the lawyers in court today, that gave us previews to where we had references to grand larceny. Now we have 15 counts, including larceny, tax fraud, false statement, filing false instruments, falsifying business records. They are taking what the DA argues was a conspiracy to intentionally and habitually defraud the government, steal money and pay people ‘off the books.’ That is the language of the indictment. They’re alleging that went on for 15 years.”

This is very concerning.  I've always thought that they would find a way to keep him busy in and out of court and destroy him financially. 

Liberal NY courts, how do you think things are going to turn out?

Trump exec Weisselberg pleads not guilty to fraud, conspiracy charges

New York City prosecutors on Thursday charged the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, with various fraud and conspiracy charges.

Weisselberg, who turned himself in earlier Thursday morning, pleaded not guilty to all 15 charges, which include tax fraud, conspiracy, grand larceny and falsifying business records. He and the Trump Organization have denied wrongdoing.

In an indictment that was unsealed Thursday afternoon, prosecutors alleged that Weisselberg helped orchestrate a scheme to compensate himself and “other Trump Organization executives” with unreported income.

According to prosecutors, Weisselberg avoided paying taxes on about $1.7 million in income between 2005 and 2017. The indictment alleges that the Trump Organization had been paying for his rent in a Manhattan apartment, living expenses, a relative’s private school tuition and the lease on a Mercedes.

Former President Trump was not mentioned in the charging documents but prosecutors suggested that executives other than Weisselberg were implicated in the scheme.

They have been trying for awhile to get Weisselberg to turn on Trump.  He has steadfastly refused.  This is DOJ payback.
