over 35 years and changed the assessed value of at least 562 properties.
McArdle, who was a cooperating witness in the bribery case, died in 2013 and was never charged. When the scandal erupted, according to the former Trump Organization employee, Trump expressed concern that he had signed checks payable to McArdle. His staff told him not to worry because executives of the Plaza had signed the checks, the employee said.
Historical tax assessment data for the Plaza shows its valuation dropping noticeably during the Trump Organization’s seven-year ownership. But it’s hard to discern whether the changes in valuation were due to any assessors’ scheme or changes in market conditions — or both. The Plaza’s valuation dropped by about 40% over two years, for example, but that also coincided with the hotel’s 1992 entry into bankruptcy.
In 2007, Trump was questioned under oath about McArdle in an unrelated deposition for a lawsuit he filed against journalist Timothy O’Brien. Here’s the full exchange between a lawyer for O’Brien and Trump, according to a transcript of the deposition:A. It sounds vaguely familiar, but I don’t remember.Q. Was caught up in a scandal in the early 2000s regarding tax assessors?
McCarthy told ProPublica and WNYC that she could not discuss any part of the case that isn’t in the public record.
😱
This is less shocking information than when Stormy told us all that his dick was below average size.
Trump is a PROVEN CRIMINAL (Trump University, Trump Foundation, Trump Org, Abuse of Power & Obstruction). Remove him and all leaders who obstruct the path. TheDemocrats GOP
The article itself says Trump did nothing wrong. This is a pathetic attempt to smear an innocent citizen and says a lot more about Rolling Stone than anyone else. Sleazy, lazy, and a little bit crazy. You’re embarrassing yourselves.
