...New York prosecutors... have evidence that Barry Weisselberg, a Trump Organization employee, avoided taxes by living rent-free in a luxury apartment Trump owned, The Daily Beast reported on Sunday.
..Weisselberg, the manager of Trump's Wollman ice rink in Central Park, is the son of Allen Weisselberg..
Now prosecutors have evidence - delivered by Barry Weisselberg's ex-wife, Jennifer - that he avoided paying taxes...
..."In 2018, Weisselberg's family member was allowed to occupy a different Trump-owned apartment on East 61st Street in Manhattan, with no reported rent at all," the indictment said.
"The value of lodging provided to [Allen] Weisselberg's family member constituted income to that family member, and the defendants were required to report that income and to pay withholding taxes on it to the federal, state, and local tax authorities. The defendants intentionally failed to do so."

That’s not illegal
How many kids are living at home tax free?
Jeez… if I have somebody live in a house “rent free” it’s to have them be there so squatters don’t invade. I’ve done that before and considered the people “watching” to be doing me a favor. These prosecutors are stretching the hell out of this.
Paying rent is unAmerican says Talib.
When LEFTISTS are given positions of power (such as when conservatives sit out elections between RINOs and Democrats to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’, for example)...they then can ALWAYS find a crime, once they find a person they want to jail. Better solution, even if it involves holding one’s nose, is to NOT permit Leftists to have that kind of power over us in the first place.
There is evidence of Democrat Party collusion with the Communist Party of China, and this is what they come up with against Trump? After all this madness, they are pursuing this? So, now what? Are we supposed to laugh? This is crap, nothing more.
She is a dingbat. I saw her being interviewed over a month ago.
How can he pay taxes on rent he didn’t pay?
On my property, I can let anybody stay for as long as I choose at no cost to them.
15,000 annual gift free of taxes how much was the rent?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! This is the kind of nonsense they have? Hilarious.
how many friend girlfriends, relatives are subject to this??? how many politicians have “kept” friends and not reported it?
this is reaching imo what about charities?
New York state most likely has gift tax, too, but how much, and under what rules, I do not know.
I have evidence that the NY persecutors are retarded.
So there...
new york state has NO gift tax.
so what fn business is this of theirs?
I would like to see evidence that members of the extended Biden party listed housing and food at Camp David holidays as taxable income-in-kind on their taxes. And does Pelosi pay income-in-kind taxes for her weekly airflights and additional security? Did Clinton pay taxes for his island jaunts? Will the Texas Dems declare income-in-kind for their ‘donor’ jets to DC? Or the ‘care packages’ they received before jetting offshore?
These idiots are opening a big box of worms - it’s tempting to go fishing
Well, let’s see. Seems Michele Obama’s mother stayed for eight years in the White House on the public dole and I suspect that she didn’t pay a dime either. If true, where’s the prosecution there?
Well Trump is in big trouble now.
Because he ‘lives in the heads of tens of millions rent free’.
How about live-in girlfriends who don't pay rent?
Is this really serious stuff?
