Mod: Al Caponecommitted all kinds of gaudy crimes, but in the end they got him for not paying his taxes.Trump? He didn't pay taxes, either. Trump Org attorneys have a major Monday deadline to convince prosecutors not to file charges (Raw Storylink): President Donald Trump's company has until Monday (June 28) to convince prosecutors not to file charges, the Washington Post reported Sunday evening.
Last Thursday, the
New York Times reported that lawyers were working with
Trump and for the
Trump Organization to make the case that charges were not warranted against them.
"Meetings like these are common in financial investigations, allowing defense attorneys a chance to present evidence before prosecutors make a decision on whether to seek charges," explained the Post.
Their deadline from
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. (D) and
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) is Monday, two people familiar with the demand revealed.
A grand jury in Manhattan was impaneled to consider indictments in Vance/James' investigation, but no one has been charged yet.
"Prosecutors have shown interest in whether
Trump's company used misleading valuations of its properties to deceive lenders and taxing authorities, and in whether taxes were paid on fringe benefits for company executives, according to court documents and people familiar with the investigations," explained the
Post.
Those familiar sources told the
Post that prosecutors are looking to charge the
Trump Organization as a company and
Allen Weisselberg, the
CFO, for refusing to cooperate if
Trump lawyers can't convince them otherwise.
Trump attorney Ronald Fischetti was the one who revealed that Weisselberg wasn't "cooperating and saying what they want him to say" in whether Trump had personal information about the CFO getting cars, apartments and other things as gifts from the company.
