A partisan investigation into Trump seems to have dead-ended
By Andrea Widburg
At least one criminal case that Democrat activists filed against Trump may be ending with a whimper. You may recall that there’s a criminal fraud case against Trump in Manhattan. To the New York Times’s manifest despair, it seems that there is no evidence of an actual crime. Things are so bad that two of the lead prosecutors on the case quit when the District Attorney expressed serious doubt in the case.
In 2018, Cyrus Vance, Jr., Manhattan’s then-District Attorney, charged the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, with tax fraud allegedly related to overvaluing properties to obtain bank loans. From the outside looking in, it was obviously a fallacious charge. After all, any marginally competent bank conducts its own property valuation before issuing loans.
Nevertheless, Vance pushed hard, going so far as to get a ruling from the Supreme Court allowing the District Attorney’s office to get Trump’s tax returns. From Trump’s point of view, that was probably the nadir of the case.
