Trump Organization Convicted of Tax Fraud; Hunter Biden Still Walks Freehttps://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1600233623860281345https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1600236186055757824The organization could face up to a maximum of $1.62 million, which is a comparably small amount for the company’s size, but the AP noted that “the conviction might make some of its future deals more complicated.” Overall, the conviction comes after New York prosecutors have spent the last three years investigating the former president and his businesses.
Trump himself was not a target of the investigation or proseuction.
The case against the company was based on the testimony from the Trump Organization’s former finance chief, Allen Weisselberg. Weisselberg testified in exchange for only having a five-month jail sentence after previously pleading guilty to charges that he manipulated the Trump Organization’s books as well as his own compensation package to reduce his taxes.
Weisselberg refused pressure to testify against Trump as part of the plea deal.
