Donald Trump's real estate company has been convicted of carrying out a 15-year-long criminal scheme to defraud tax authorities, adding to the legal woes facing the former US president as he campaigns for the office again in 2024

The Trump Organization - which operates hotels, golf courses, and other real estate around the world - faces fines over the conviction.

The case centered on charges that the company paid personal expenses like free rent and car leases for top executives including former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg without reporting the income, and paid them bonuses as if they were independent contractors. Mr Trump himself is being investigated by the US Department of Justice over his handling of sensitive government documents after he left office in January 2021 and attempts to overturn the November 2020 election, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

Republican Trump, who on 15 November announced his third campaign for the presidency, has called the probe a politically motivated"witch hunt." He also said Trump's two sons - who took over the company's operations in 2017 after Trump became president - gave him a raise after they knew about his tax dodge scheme.

RTE is looking to distract us with the USA again. Anything to take the spot light off FF and FG

Anything about Kincora Boys Home sex abuse scandal involving Royalyy, MPs, MI5, MI6, Irish Politicians, Gardaí... or Hunter Biden's lap top & his sister's diary... or the name of the Irish politician who was pretending to be a child, as he groomed another child

Rte has a bad case of Trump derangement syndrome.Still no mention of the hunter Biden laptop.Why is that?Is that because rte doesn't believe in objective unbiased news coverage but prefers to be propaganda outlet for the anti Irish far left woke agenda. and you must pay for it😂

Any word on Hunter's laptop and pappy's involvement, NO,

Is Hillary shouting 'lock him up'?
