Trump loses latest bid to block tax returns from House panel
Bloomberg, Oct 27 2022
The US Circuit Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit rejected former President Donald Trump’s request to reconsider a ruling from a three-judge panel in August that his tax returns must be disclosed to a Congressional committee. The order today clears the way for the House Ways & Means Committee to get Trump’s financial documents, although the former President could still try to petition the US Supreme Court to intervene.

Trump’s efforts to hide cash from New York Attorney General shot down in court
The Daily Beast, Nov 3 2022 4:30 PM ET
Donald Trump’s desperate attempts to escape the wrath of the New York Attorney General were halted today when a state judge took the remarkable step of putting the former President’s company under court supervision and preventing the billionaire from quietly shifting his money to avoid paying millions in fines.
Justice Arthur Engoron intervened at the AG’s request, ordering the appointment of an independent monitor to ensure that the company can’t secretly move assets out of the law enforcement agency’s reach or keep issuing fraudulent financial statements. The Trump Organization and its family leadership are accused of engaging in a blatant and long-running bank and tax fraud scheme. Documents filed in court meticulously describe how Trump and the adult family members he made executives there – Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric – persistently inflated the size and value of property to snag better bank loans and claim bigger tax breaks. They now face a $250 million lawsuit from New York AG Letitia James which seeks to cripple the corporation. She hopes to put the Trumps on trial in 2023.

Trumps had role in fraud scheme, former exec testifies at company's trial
CBS News. Nov 17 2022 10:08 AM
Former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg testified in court Thursday, describing how Donald Trump and two of his children allegedly participated in a scheme to defraud tax authorities. Weisselberg said Donald Trump, or at times Eric Trump or Donald Trump Jr., signed checks to pay up to $100,000 for private school tuition for Weisselberg's grandchildren. Weisselberg said he then instructed the company's controller to deduct the $100,000 from his salary, allowing him to report a smaller income. Copies of some of the checks signed by the Trumps have been shown in court.

The civil trial for the cheater, fraudster, con man and tax evader who calls himself a "shrewd businessman" will begin October 2, 2023. (The New York Attorney General's office does not have the power to file criminal charges.) Donald Bender, Trump's former accountant and tax preparer, testified yesterday that for many years Trump reported losses of hundreds of millions of dollars in order to avoid paying federal income taxes. In 2017, the year Trump became President, he paid only $750 in tax. Trump also inflated the value of his assets in order to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in loans at low interest rates.

"How dare they rule that I have to release the tax records that I promised to release!" Of course Trump's promise to release his taxes was a lie. "Boo hoo, the Supreme Court is picking on me!" And Trump is also upset that the Court never investigated the 2020 "election hoax." He still refuses to acknowledge he lost. Sad.

Mika Brzezinski, host of the syndicated Morning Joe radio program, commented yesterday on the 39-page summary of Donald Trump's taxes which, among other things, shows Trump managed to avoid the mandatory IRS audits for two years while President: "It proves that Hillary Clinton was right all along. Nancy Pelosi was right all along. Chuck Schumer was right all along. The Democrats were right all along. The New York Times was right all along. The Washington Post, too, was 100% correct all along. Donald Trump was not under audit. Donald Trump was lying. He was desperate to hide the truth from Americans." Brzezinski also pointed out that Trump was not the "shrewd businessman" he claimed to be: "He lost more money than any other American – at a time when he was writing The Art Of The Deal."

Today the House Ways & Means Committee released six years of the tax returns that Donald Trump fought for many years to keep secret. Trump responded, “The Democrats should have never done it. The Supreme Court should never have approved it. It’s going to lead to horrible things for so many people. The great USA divide will now grow far worse." Then he bragged that the tax returns show "how proudly successful" he has been. He ignored all his many failed businesses, the thousands of lawsuits against him and the recent conviction of The Trump Organization on multiple charges of criminal tax fraud and falsification of business records..

In 2016, Donald Trump insisted that only "the mob" invokes the Fifth Amendment. He asked, "If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?" On August 10, 2022, Trump pleaded the Fifth Amendment 440 times (according to NBC) during questioning at the New York attorney general's office. He answered only one question: "What is your name?" Perhaps during his October hearing, he will set a new record for pleading the Fifth.
Donald Trump ordered by judge to face New York fraud lawsuit
Reuters, Jan 6 2023 3:37 PM PST
Justice Arthur Engoron of the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan said today Donald Trump must face a lawsuit by the state's attorney general accusing him of fraudulently overvaluing his namesake real estate company's assets and his own net worth. Attorney General Letitia James had sued Trump, his adult children Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka and the Trump Organization last September over an alleged scheme to inflate Trump's assets by billions of dollars through a decade of lies to banks and insurers, in what she called a "staggering" fraud.
James said Trump "engaged in years of extensive financial fraud to enrich himself and cheat the system" and must defend himself in court. She also wants to stop the Trumps from running businesses in New York and ban Trump and his company from acquiring real estate there for five years. An October 2 trial is scheduled.
