Prosecutor who resigned over stalled Trump probe says ex-President could have been convicted
The Washington Post, Mar 23 2022 9:27 PM ET
A veteran prosecutor who resigned from a special appointment to the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation into Donald Trump’s finances and business practices said the former President personally committed felonies and should be charged promptly. The comments were made in Mark Pomerantz’s February 23 resignation letter as he and Carey Dunne, another top investigator on the team probing Trump and the family-run Trump Organization, abruptly left the office after people familiar with the matter said District Attorney Alvin Bragg appeared uninterested in pursuing a case.
"The team that has been investigating Mr. Trump harbors no doubt about whether he committed crimes – he did,” Pomerantz’s letter said. Pomerantz added that Trump lied to banks and other relevant parties committing "numerous felony violations" through his practice of filing bogus Statements of Financial Condition. Pomerantz and his counterparts in the probe determined Trump broke New York law and that a criminal case against him was viable.

Donald Trump appeared on TV3's Ireland AM program in 2014 and declared, "If I decide to run for office, I'll produce my tax returns, absolutely." In 2015, and again in 2016, he told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he would release his taxes. In 2016 during a televised debate with Hillary Clinton, Trump promised to release his taxes "as soon as the audit as finished." Of course he was lying every time. He continues to fight the release of his taxes. What is he hiding?

Allen Weisselberg, Trump Organization CFO, pleads guilty in tax fraud scheme in New York
USA TODAY, Aug 18 2022 11:42 AM ET
Allen Weisselberg, former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, pleaded guilty today to all 15 criminal charges in a scheme that paid him lavish corporate benefits in off-the-books payments from the Trump Organization without paying taxes on the perks. The deal with the Manhattan district attorney's office requires him to testify truthfully about the scheme if called as a government witness at the pending trial of the Trump Organization, which has also been charged in the scheme. But the agreement does not require Weisselberg to cooperate with prosecutors against former President Donald Trump, who has not been charged. The agreement also requires Weisselberg, 75, to pay nearly $2 million in New York state and city taxes and penalties.

Donald Trump, as his former attorney Michael Cohen testified, regularly inflated the value of his assets to get better insurance rates and loan rates – and deflated the value of his assets to reduce his taxes. The Trumps, very predictably, are calling the civil lawsuit a politically-motivated witch hunt. So far, Donald Trump has always managed to be above the law. Maybe this time his luck will finally run out.

Trump sued, accused of inflating Rancho Palos Verdes Golf Club value
Patch, Sep 26 2022
The New York state attorney general is suing former President Donald Trump for falsely inflating the value of his Rancho Palos Verdes Golf Club in California by nearly $50 million in 2013. The 214-page suit accuses Trump and three of his children – Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric – and Trump Organization executives of pressuring appraisers to inflate the value of the property to the Internal Revenue Service in 2014 to obtain an 11.5-acre conservation easement, which would result in a large tax break. According to the suit, the former President and the Trump Organization intentionally created more than 200 false valuations of assets from 2011 to 2021, including the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles.
The Office of the Attorney General is seeking to permanently bar Trump and his children from serving as officers or directors in any New York corporation or similar business entity and to require Trump to repay an estimated $250 million of financial benefits obtained through fraudulent practices.
