Trump lawyer: Manhattan DA won't charge former president

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has indicated he does not currently plan to charge the Trump Organization with crimes related to allegations of "hush money" payments and real estate value manipulations, according to a personal lawyer for Donald Trump.

Ronald Fischetti, a New York attorney who represents the former president, said on Monday that in a meeting last week, he asked Vance’s team for details on charges they were considering.

According to Fischetti, members of Vance’s team said they were considering bringing charges against the Trump Organization and its individual employees related to alleged failures to pay taxes on corporate benefits and perks. It has been widely reported that those perks included cars and apartments and appear to only involve a small number of executives.

“We asked, ‘Is there anything else?’” Fischetti told POLITICO. “They said, ‘No.’”

“It’s crazy that that’s all they had,” he added.

When asked if the meeting touched on allegations made by Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen and by adult film star and director Stormy Daniels, Fischetti replied, “Nothing. Not a word on that.”

Fischetti also said that Vance’s team told him they will not bring charges against Trump himself when the first indictment comes down.

Vance has nothing on Trump. It’s nothing more than a fishing expedition. If he had anything he’d jump on it. By saying he’s jot charging “now” he leaves the innuendo door open for MSNBC to assert corruption theories.

NY, and particularly NYC never seem to run out of left-tards to place in public positions, who only seem interested in bringing cases against Trump and any other conservative. It’s like there’s no crime occurring there and there is nothing to occupy their time other than ginning up frivolous anti-Trump cases.
