New York prosecutors interview Michael Cohen about Trump finances

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...trump-finances

The interview focused in part on Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank, his biggest and longest-standing creditor, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The interview, at least the second with Cohen by the Manhattan district attorney, comes amid a long-running grand jury investigation into Trump’s business dealings.

The district attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr, has been waging a protracted legal battle to get access to the president’s tax records. The US supreme court is expected to rule on Trump’s request for a stay and a further appeal after he leaves office on 20 January.

Vance, a Democrat, has has declined to provide details about the investigation. But court filings have pointed to news reports of what prosecutors described as “extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization”.

Among the reports Vance’s office referenced in court filings was a 2017 article about Ladder Capital, a commercial mortgage lender that made more than $250m in loans to the Trump Organization, secured by Trump properties.

Jack Weisselberg, the son of the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, is a director of Ladder Capital.

The New York investigation is one of several legal entanglements likely to intensify as Trump loses power – and any immunity from prosecution he might have as a sitting president.
The ex-president's alleged covert financial activities may soon be front page news and Trump himself may yet be branded "criminal" .....

I wouldn't be surprised if he sought asylum in China.

It drives me nuts that we have to legislate ethics in a country as great as ours, but yes, we apparently need to require that all presidential candidates submit to full vetting, which includes the release of tax documents.

Sigh.

Re: New York prosecutors interview Michael Cohen about Trump finances

The more crap hurled at Trump the more I am amused. They got Al Capone for tax evasion, maybe Trump fiddling his finances (in whatever manner he did it) will get him dragged into court. If he's found guilty, even better. Fingers crossed.

Hi

If they get Trump for Tax Evasion then our lot are finished.

They are just as bad.

The vast majority of Taxpayers are on PAYE, just extend it to everyone.

Pointless. Tax avoidance costs - and those of us who take advantage are well aware of the costs - and when the cost becomes greater than the benefit and then we act accordingly.

Tax evasion also has costs and once again the cost/benefit is something that is always known if not by the individual then certainly by their accountant and most often by both.

For an entrepreneur PAYE is impossible to use to control how much tax a person pays in the UK.
