The Trump Organization and CFO Allen Weisselberg are expected to be charged on Thursday “with tax-related crimes stemming from a New York investigation into the former president’s business dealings,” sources tell the Associated Press.

The pending charges reportedly involve “non-monetary benefits the company gave to top executives.”

Trump’s tax records have been scrutinized for years by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., a Democrat.

Former Trump advisor Jason Miller responded to the story on Twitter.

“This is politically terrible for the Democrats,” Miller said. “They told their crazies and their supplicants in the mainstream media this was about President Trump. Instead, their Witch Hunt is persecuting an innocent 80-year-old man for maybe taking free parking!”

“They’re doing this just to hurt Donald Trump himself,” Trump’s attorney, Ron Fischetti, told the New York Daily News last week. “There are no charges against him at all in this.”

Fischetti also said the Trump Organization will plead not guilty and file a motion to have the indictment dismissed. “In my more than 50 years of practice, never before have I seen the District Attorney’s Office target a company over employee compensation or fringe benefits,” Fischetti said. “The IRS would not, and has not, brought a case like this. Even the financial institutions responsible for causing the 2008 financial crises, the worst financial crisis since the great depression, were not prosecuted.”

Trump dismissed the investigation as a political hit job “in search of a crime.”

“Radical Left New York City and State Prosecutors, who have let murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and all other forms of crime skyrocket to record levels, and who have just announced that they will be releasing hundreds of people involved in violent crime back onto the streets without retribution of any kind, are rude, nasty, and totally biased in the way they are treating lawyers, representatives, and some of the wonderful long-term employees and people within the Trump Organization,” Trump said in a statement on Monday.

We know that this is a political hit job.

[Bshaw]

Wouldn’t this type of inquiry be the purview of the IRS?

New York is sick, in every sense of the word.

RE: Wouldn’t this type of inquiry be the purview of the IRS?

Well, New York State has its own TAX Office. The State’s version of their IRS.

[SkyDancer]

Will be faked/forged returns.

[unixfox]

And yet Hunter Biden’s tax evasion charges and the Biden crime family …

CRICKETS.

[ifinnegan]

New York is so incompetent and corrupt it can’t even count.

[bigbob]

Anything that hypes expectations that orange man will be wearing orange and then fails to deliver is bad for dems.

[buffyt]

...He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance...

[Mouton]

When Trump had his hands on the nuke codes, he should have cauterized this sore on the republic.

[SgtHooper]

Yes, more bogus charges to drain funds and smear him before the midterms!

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

I hope you are doing well.

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance”

King Biteme? Or King George III?

[oil_dude]

They couldn’t make the jaywalking charge stick.

[mewzilla]

Deep State makes George III and his Parliament look like pikers.

My Revolutionary War ancestors are spinning.

[mewzilla]

As for doing well...

Well, I’m breathing.

I just can’t believe what I’m living.

[Pol-92064]

The Trump Organization will pay a fine and then the back taxes. This is no big deal. People and corporations make tax mistakes all the time.

[mewzilla]

You’re assuming there was a mistake.

I’m betting there was none.

But that won’t matter.

This isn’t a prosecution.

It’s a star chamber.

Hey, in Manhattan, parking is worth $40k/yr!
