The Manhattan district attorney's office has informed lawyers for the Trump Organization that it could face criminal charges in connection with benefits it has provided to company employees, a person familiar with the matter said.

The charges, which could come as soon as next week, would likely involve allegations of a company effort to avoid paying payroll taxes on compensation it provided to employees, including rent-free apartments, cars and other benefits, the person said. The New York Times first reported the contact between the DA's office and Trump Organization lawyers.

Prosecutors are also likely to announce charges against Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization chief financial officer, as soon as next week, people familiar with the matter said.

Weisselberg's lawyers recently informed prosecutors that he would not cooperate in the investigation, the people said. Weisselberg is under scrutiny for benefits he received, including a company-funded apartment and car.

So the best they can come up with is room and board per diem and a company car as part of Weisselberg’s benefits package.

What a popcorn fart…

How is this possibly “criminal,” in nature?

“Let’s give you per diem just like every other company provides its employees.”

Judge: “20 years, for only conservatives!”

Disney and ATT eagerly pushing this BS.

People need to wake up to the fact that the MSM is largely ATT, Comcast, and Disney — three malicious corporations contributing to the downfall of America.

The seriousness of the charges is assumed to be serious when a Democrat is accusing a Republican.

This will be thrown out in 2 days tops..it is NOT illegal to give fringe benefits, only the recipients can be charged if they did not report what was given to them on their taxes..the Trump organization did NOTHING wrong..what these cheesy charges shows is that the DA had nothing so they had to come up with SOMETHING

Crime is out of control in New York, yet the’ve decided that the must go after Trump because he is the biggest threat to THEM. The democrats have destroyed political accountability every where they rule.... PURE EVIL... and the GOP sits back and eats popcorn.

I didn’t note any screeching over Hunter Biden’s eternal seediness. Not one. I hate the media.

This is what they want to do.

We are in a totalitarian state since the coup and they want to jail their critics or opponents the same as the ChiComs or any dictatorship do.

Trump Fever really did mess up a lot of brains in NYC. There must be a Kool Aid they offer to their residents that gets them to accept falsehoods are facts.

He’s just floating around with Russian prostitutes trying to get positions on Gazprom, Rosneft and Lukoil, then special kickbacks so he can give 10% to daddy, and financial windfalls to the Obama and Clinton foundations.
