The Trump Organization is expected to be hit with criminal charges as soon as next week by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office in a case that Trump attorneys say is tied to tax-related conduct, multiple people familiar with the matter tell NBC News.
“It looks like they are going to come down with charges against the company, and that is completely outrageous,” Ron Fischetti, an attorney for the Trumps, said after the development was first reported by The New York Times.
"I’ve been practicing for over 50 years, and I’ve never seen a case like this."
Danny Frost, a spokesperson for Vance, declined to comment.
Fischetti said that "the corporate office will plead not guilty and we will make an immediate motion to dismiss the case against the corporation."
Also potentially facing charges is the company's longtime CFO, Allen Weisselberg, The Times reported.
“They could not get Allen Weisselberg to cooperate and tell them what they wanted to hear, and that’s why they are going forward with these charges," Fischetti said. "They could not get him to cooperate because he would not say that Donald Trump had knowledge or any information that he may have been not deducting properly the use of cars or an apartment."

The deep state working overtime to make sure Trump never runs again.
This kind of idiocy will be thrown out in two days tops..it is NOT illegal for company execs to give fringe benefits to employees..its only a crime if the RECIPIENT does not report it on their taxes..so the Trump Organization is off the hook they did nothing wrong..and honestly is the best they could do, must be pretty damn pathetic, they had nothing so this is what they resort to
Possible ? so it’s a pile of crap
BFD
a massive, sprawling organization and that’s the best they could do? Trump must be the cleanest businessman in the world if it has taken them 6 years of digging and they come up with nothing.
“Show me the man. I’ll find the crime.” —Joseph Stolen
Senator Stevens (AK) and House Whip Tom Delay (TX) would argue otherwise.
The Dems have become extremely efficient with Lawfare™, and they will destroy Trump and his family unless "We the People" stop it.
I knew these guys where in trouble when the started interviewing Stormy Daniels again it’s clear they are trying to stretch the equivalent of jaywalking into armed robbery…this will get laughed out of court
Maybe the Trump Organization should have engaged in looting and rioting throughout NYC. The charges would’ve been dropped in a nanosecond.
I hope they do it, in fact I Triple Dog Dare them to do it.
Even if it doesn’t it only takes one red hat to sit on a jury for it to hang even if everyone else is a communist.
Only 1 out of 12. I think those are good odds. Every charge against Trump or his organization will end in a hung jury.
Agree with the other poster this is literally nothing they don’t have a case and the tax laws on this are so murky that there is nothing here
Can’t go straight to a “triple dog dare”, sheesh, you should know that.
Taxes? If there was something serious here the IRS would be investigating, not the corrupt Trumphaters in the Manhattan DA’s office.
Show me the man, I’ll find the crime.~ It was actually said to Joe Stalin by Lavrentiy Beria.
It’s entirely appropriate for businesses to own vehicles and property for use by employees, especially employees who are disrupted from their normal residences or lives for the benefit of the company.
The neutralizing of Giuliani was a preemptive strike.
The CFO wouldn’t roll so they are making him pay.
This NYAG sheboon is dirty, and of course SDNY Vance is a chromosome-impaired inbred moron. So this is the balloon going up to start the counter-narrative.
