Ex-Bush ethics official: Mueller team likely closing in on Trump tax return secrets
By John Bowden - 08/25/18 12:51 PM EDT

A former ethics lawyer for former President George W. Bush said Friday that special counsel Robert Mueller is closing in on the "basic structure" of President Trump's family business, the Trump Organization, and suggested that Mueller may find "quite ugly" information in the president's unreleased tax returns.

Speaking on MSNBC's "The 11th Hour," Richard Painter told host Brian Williams that Trump must be getting nervous after the reported immunity deal for the Trump Organization’s longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg.

“Now we have the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization turning state’s evidence," Painter said. "I have to say that every white-collar criminal defense lawyer knows when the chief financial officer turns state’s evidence, everyone in the executive suite is in a lot of trouble because the chief financial officer knows exactly where the money is coming and going.”
