into Trump

New York prosecutors have subpoenaed an elite private school in Manhattan as part of an investigation into former President Donald Trump and his Trump Organization, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Sources told the Journal that Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School was subpoenaed by prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg's grandchildren are students at the school. Prosecutors are reportedly trying to "flip" Weisselberg, who also oversees the Trump family's finances, into cooperating with the investigation into irregularities in Trump's and the Trump Organization's finances.

Jennifer Weisselberg - the childrens' mother - previously told Insider that Trump would include school tuition into the compensation package for her former husband, Barry Weisselberg. She is a cooperating witness in investigations from both the Manhattan District Attorney's office, as well as a parallel one in the New York Attorney General's office.

Prosecutors may be examining whether the tuition arrangement allowed Barry or Allen Weisselberg to avoid paying taxes, according to the Journal.

Jennifer Weisselberg told the Journal that more than $500,000 in tuition was paid for with checks written either by Trump or Allen Weisselberg. But the records in her possession don't show who made the payments, the Journal reported.

1. It's also, apparently

the school that Barron Trump attended....

3. Interesting. Wonder if Trump stiffed the school for Barron's tuition?

You should be grateful for the good press and publicity you get from the fact that my offspring goes to school here!, etc.

2. If it wasn't for an extensive investigation into their 'charity' having already finished

I would have expected the Trumps to have used the charity to pay the fees. Their mantra has always been "cheat on taxes" and "use other people's money".
