Investigation into Donald Trump's finances: prosecutor also takes an interest in Donald Jr.
According to the "Daily Beast", the Manhattan district attorney, who opened an investigation into payments made to two alleged Donald Trump mistresses during the 2016 campaign, is also interested in his eldest son Donald Jr.
Would the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation be larger than expected? According to the "Daily Beast", the investigators responsible for shedding light on the payments made in exchange for their silence to two presumed mistresses of Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign would also be interested in the management of the Trump Organization, entrusted to Donald Trump Jr and his brother Eric after their father won the election. They would also focus on Allen Weisselberg, the company's chief financial officer for years, but the US magazine did not give details of the inquiries into the former president's eldest, who has become a favorite of the conservative electorate and who could well run for a political mandate in the next elections.
Payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, made by former personal lawyer for billionaire Michael Cohen, risk being considered a violation of campaign finance laws. This investigation opened two years ago upsets Donald Trump, especially since the Supreme Court has twice authorized Manhattan prosecutor Cyrus Vance to access his tax and banking declarations. The former president, deprived of his accounts on social networks, blasted the decision of the highest court in the country in a statement: "The Supreme Court should never have allowed this" expedition "to continue, but it did. This is something that has never happened to a president before, it is instilled by Democrats in a totally democratic place, the city and state of New York, completely controlled and dominated by one of my known enemies, Governor Andrew Cuomo. ” "This is fascism, not justice," he wrote, once again repeating the lie that he lost the presidential election due to massive electoral fraud.
Donald Trump Jr is not the only child of Donald Trump in the crosshairs of justice. Last December, Ivanka Trump was questioned for five hours by the Washington DC prosecutor's office, which is investigating possible embezzlement between the organizing committee for Donald Trump's nomination in 2016 and the Trump Organization. . The suspicions focus in particular on the rates charged by the Trump Hotel in Washington, much higher than those of other establishments, and where nomination-related events were organized - for a total of $ 1 million, paid by public money.
Like her father, who on Monday denounced a costly "political witch hunt", the billionaire's daughter and former advisor blasted "yet another demonstration of political retribution and waste of taxpayer money." DC Attorney Karl Racine quickly responded to Ivanka Trump: “Our investigation revealed that the Committee knowingly used non-profit funds to enrich the Trump family. It's very simple: they broke the law. This is why we have taken legal action. ”
