The Daily Beast Reports That Jennifer Weisselberg Has Directly Linked Trump To Tax Fraud.

A witness in the New York investigation against the Trump Organization has told prosecutors that Donald Trump personally guaranteed he would cover school costs for the family members of two employees in lieu of a raise—directly implicating the former president in an ongoing criminal tax fraud case.

The explosive claims come from Jennifer Weisselberg, the ex-wife of a longtime company employee, during a teleconference call with investigators on Friday, June 25, according to two sources who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity.

On that afternoon's Zoom call, those sources said, investigators with the Manhattan district attorney and New York state attorney general asked Jennifer Weisselberg whether Trump himself was involved in the company’s alleged tax-dodging scheme of making corporate gifts instead of increasing salary that would be taxed.

He was, she answered.

Weisselberg then provided key details for investigators. In January 2012, inside Trump’s office at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, Jennifer Weisselberg watched as Trump discussed compensation with her husband and her father-in-law, both company employees. Her husband wouldn’t be getting a raise, but their children would get their tuition paid for at a top-rated private academy instead.

Weisselberg allegedly relayed to prosecutors that Trump turned to her and said: "Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered.”

3. Please tell me that they have something more than tax fraud.

What happened to the Deutsche bank / Russia money laundering scheme that the SDNY had?

5. Where's Garland and the DOJ? Have they picked this up or are they 'sweeping it under the rug'?

[SoonerPride]

6. I suspect they think it would create too much drama and isn't worth it

So of course he is too big to prosecute.

Because that's what we have become.

Justice for the little people and immunity for the powerful.

8. They are making a gigantic mistake. This sets a very bad precedent. In fact it is dangerous.

10. I agree. But I bet trump never faces a jury for any crime he has committed (and there are tons)

[triron]

17. Hope Dr Snyder is wrong because he says the failed 'coup' was just practice.

If DOJ does nothing next time they will succeed.
