Trump Org. Exec Just Dropped A Major Bombshell About Donald Trump In Court: He ‘Authorized’ Rent In Tax Fraud Scheme
Donald Trump may have just announced that he officially intends to run for the 2024 presidency, but that’s not the only news that has broken about him. It’s just been revealed that major untaxed perks were “authorized” by the ...
Weisselberg told a jury that Trump, 76, was not only aware of the untaxed benefits at the heart of the government’s criminal case against the Trump Organization, but he was the guy who authorized them, as it was ‘convenient for the company’ for Weisselberg and other senior employees to receive benefits and bonuses that were not declared as part of their regular salary.
On one occasion in 2012, the former president apparently signed checks for Weisselberg’s grandchildren’s private school tuition after Donald Trump Jr. had walked in with his own children’s tuition checks to have signed. “I may as well pay for your grandkids too,” Trump reportedly joked. Weisselberg added that he reduced his salary by the amount of the tuition in order to pay back the money, however this resulted not only in less taxable income for himself, but also for the Trump Organization by paying him less.
Sounds like a conviction. Republicans that weren’t going to vote for Trump should be happy.
