Welp, the time is right, folx. Donald Trump and his minions are officially screwed.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office is expected to lay criminal charges against the Trump Organization and its CFO Allen Weisselberg tomorrow.
Trump’s attorney, Ronald Fischetti, told reporters yesterday that he didn’t think Trump himself would be charged with anything … yet. But the fact that his family business has not been able to push back criminal charges after devoting all its resources to it is not a good sign for the ex-president.
Allen Weisselberg knows where the bodies are buried.

Rumor has it, the company will be charged with tax crimes related to the alleged non-payment of taxes on employee benefits and benefits, including luxury cars, tuition fees at private schools and apartment buildings. offered to employees.
Of course, Fischetti says the DA’s office has “no evidence” to prove the charges and that Trump “expects to win” the trail … just as he expected to win the 2020 election in a landslide. … And he expected COVID-19 to miraculously disappear before Easter… and he expected he would not be impeached… twice.
The reason Donald Trump’s company will be indicted tomorrow is simple. Donald Trump is a criminal.

CBS News reports:
Lawyers for the Trump organization plan to immediately dismiss the case in court if charges are laid by the grand jury, according to those familiar with the defense team’s legal strategy. The legal team believes the threat to the Trump organization posed by the lawsuits is disproportionate to the alleged misconduct, and believes prosecutors would be unable to prove that the management of the company – including the former president – had specific knowledge of inappropriate benefits granted to employees.
The charges are expected to be announced tomorrow at noon and will likely be the first of many more. The Manhattan DA office is still investigating whether the Trump Organization has lied about the value of many real estate properties for financial purposes.
This is going to be interesting.
