Assistant district attorney said in summation that Trump sanctioned tax fraud
Both sides emphasized that Trump was not a defendant, yet the former president's name came up frequently. In his summation, assistant district attorney Joshua Steinglass pointed a rhetorical finger directly at Trump, saying Trump sanctioned tax fraud. The defense vigorously objected, and the objection was sustained by the judge.
Weisselberg previously pleaded guilty to 15 felony tax charges. He admitted hiding the part of his salary that was paid through untaxed benefits like a luxury apartment, Mercedes-Benz leases for him and his wife, and private school tuition for his grandchildren.As part of his plea deal, Weisselberg agreed to testify truthfully and to serve five months in jail.
Trump doesn't do his taxes, a team of lawyers and accountant do.
Bull
Yay! If our legal system is at all functional and true justice prevails, the ignorant, authoritarian miscreant will be in prison come 2024. His tenure was a 'fake presidency' and he is a complete embarrassment to our country!
Every corporation in America does what Trump's company was just found guilty of. Every single one!
how are yall still funded ?
Hunter had no tax fraud? All off shore company I guess! What a smart boy
Another story?
I thought I read that two of his companies were found guilty of fraud?
🤣😂🤣 going after them for not paying taxes on a company car!! Meanwhile SBF_FTX gets away with stealing BILLIONS and we still have 0 EpsteinClientList arrests!
Lawyers for former president Donald Trump found at least two items marked classified after an outside team hired by Trump searched a storage unit in West Palm Beach, Fla., used by the former president, according to people familiar with the matter. 👉👉🔴
Does not mean much coming from a corrupt New York Attorney's office.
But why are Trump company officials found guilty of tax fraud, when the company is headed by Trump. Why are lower-level officials always blamed for their boss's actions? TrumpTaxFraud
He should definitely be in jail. Watch his first year in office set to music in The So-Called President. Episode Three: Fanning the Flames out now.
Defund NPR now. It's way past time to eliminate their long-running leftist, government-funded scheme.
Ok so who is doing the time
A couple people received comp gifts and the cost was deducted from their pay. So they didn't pay taxes on the cost of the gifts. Wow. This is so petty, if it wasn't for being able to put trumps name in a headline, nobody would have wasted time on this. trump wasn't even involved
Companies can't be convicted..
How long is this going to be tied up in appeals?
weaponizing government agencies for political purposes, if it was Goldman sacks they would have got a letter from the IRS with a bill
Not a big enough fine. They knew what they were doing was wrong and wrote the $1.6m into the cheat. They owe much more. Unless this is $1.6m + back taxes.
Fake news and Fake title.
DUMP TRUMP, GOP will fail until he is gone, also soften stance on Abortion and get GENZ back.
Blah blah blah. Another propaganda tool of the Communist left.
His patsy plea bargained for 7 months in jail and organization got a chincy 1.7 million dollar fine. He made billions. Lmao that fine is Trump change 😂
😂 He made billions and his organization gets a 1.7 million dollar fine. 😂 😂 Thats TRUMP CHANGE😂
Which means he is no longer eligible!!
…Shocking…
So what?…democrat politicians don’t pay their taxes, trade stock on inside information, lauder billions through crypto nerds, etc. If you want me to care then enforce the law equally, not just against the Enemies of the State (great movie btw with Will Smith). That’s all 👌
Wake me when he’s under the jail
What is a few hundred thousand pages of tax laws. The tax code could be one page. Across the whole board 10% of everything that anyone in the country makes or any company or corporation in the country makes get a sent in for taxes.
Seven years of harassment and they don't like the way taxes are done.
Every witness repeatedly testified that President Trump and the Trump family knew nothing about Allen Weisselberg's actions,' Susan Necheles said in a statement.
What are the odds that many other companies use the same methods but will never be prosecuted? 😉
❤️ this 4 hiM
👍👍👍👍👍
NPR only post about trump
Huzzah!! Orange jumpsuit for the tangerine traitor!
JAIL and a huge fine.
The fool. Didn't he remember about Al Capone?
Now I got to do is tie him to all of that and he'll be guilty too we can only hope and dream
Donald Trump’s political career is just another one of his failed businesses… add it to the list. Trump has consistently displayed an uncanny ability to avoid success.
The beginning of the end… Hopefully
Your pretty images of politicians looking powerful report a stronger message than your story. Image trumps content by 10,ooo : 1.
Turns out Herschel Walker is just like his mentor Trump – a loser.
He wasn't convicted lmao 🤣
Bull 💩
B.S. !!!!! Is a lie!!!
Donald Trump's ACCOUNTANT is charged!?!
let me guess....all commies dems...
His company, not him, calm down libs. 😂😂
Far left commie propaganda
So wouldn’t he technical go to jail?
Trump would have faired better in every respect if he had just stayed out of politics. He flew under the radar for his whole career. Then he thought he could win in politics and found himself in the spotlight of the justice system. Should have known when to quit.
Why am I not surprised? Is anyone really?!
lol pretend journalism….
hilarious
Trump org trying get that earned income credit 😂😂😂
The company is Trump and Trump is the company! It is a family business run by Trump for Trump. Trump is the sole Principal/Proprietor. Nothing was done without his knowledge. Soooooooo, Trump is guilty of 17 crimes! LOCK HIM UP NOW!
Oops
🇺🇸
Guilty but his family will not be charged! Guilty but his companies will not be dismantled ! Guilty without consequences? How come? Please explain
His company 🤣🙄 President Trump and his family were not charged in this BS. It’s a civil Not criminal case btw. Try again.
Disgusting
It's like a corrupt JURY spitting on to the coming wind and it SPLATTERS on to their on FACES...!!!😂😂😂 In God We Trust!!!🙏🙌💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m Shocked I tell you, shocked …
With a current President that laundered money from the Ukraine, use influence to stop foreign investigations and made folks pay to play for preferential presidential deals......
The key word is his “company” not Trump. Just tell me when HE is convicted on criminal charges and I’ll celebrate (if we’re not already completely desensitized from all the things he’s done).
They got him this time !!! 😂
Nancy palosi should be in jail for insider trading. Wheres this story?
When is this tired story going to end?
TheCoinKing1980 prashant_naik No one can escape the Tax codes!
What's the punishment?
NPR should be convicted for spreading misinformation. slander and hate speech
This is total fake and all slander. That is all they will ever have is lies. Go TRUMP. USA MAGA 2024
Tds
Ya right Dem jury SURPRISE!!
Cars and fringe benefits for employees?
I'm guessing this is like a parking ticket to Trump.
They’ve weaponized every law enforcement agency in the land against the man for 7 years straight and came up with this! 1.7 million dollars? They spent at least ten times that to discover a multi billion dollar corp made minor accounting errors. Yay jump for joy! Pathetic lol
And you won’t report about the treason by Democrat politicians and former Twitter employees as documents just revealed? The insurrection by the left comparable to nothing of such a scale in history? Nothing?
The maximum penalty is $1.6 million? That’s it? You gotta be kidding.
Emphasis on “first time”
And of course the standard line comes out his crooked mouth. I didn’t know it was going on. That’s trumpy for ya….lie, lie and deny.
Massive W. Throw him in prison
This guy .. talking about fraud election.. at the end he was the monster of fraud ..
Npr you socialist lapdog
Blah blah blah. bS BS bs :) Americans know better. Put the current administration under microscope like you’ve been trying to do the Donald Trump. We all know this is dirty Communism
Respectfully, I am pretty sure there will be a reversal in the appeal courts.
cheering and dancing about the verdict knowing it'll be overturned on appeal.
Trump seems so traumatizing to you all😭🤡🌏
Ok great but is he in jail where he belongs
Lies and fake news
Come and get Your New Tattoo Therapy here in The Body Gallery in Midland TX....

🚨⚠️ZERO PUNISHMENT
I really hope he and his entourage go to prison as the criminals they are!
Report on the stolen 2020 election TwitterFiles
Missing this guy right about now
Different Trump. Not him.
His life does not change. He has people lined up willing to go to jail. More than enough. Again-his life will not change.
LOCKHIMUP
How long until Trump comes out and says he barely even knows the Trump Organization?
May the name Trump be stricken from every building and obelisk in the land!
Ex-president Fraud about to FINALLY get his mf'ing comeuppance? Only if there is a God.
Yep. Trump company executives are guilty of doing what Congress does every day - not reporting perks on their taxes.
Trumputin is trying to create a dictatorship in America.
Next the Biden’s.
LEBassett Merry Christmas to all! 👍 🎄
Bwahaha, knew you were a left leaning biased dishonest rag, but that title prove how dishonest you are. This is just another nothing. I thought they actually had something on Trump himself considering how excited the hateful left is tonight.
MORE OF THIS!!!
Can he possibly get any more crooked?
WEASEL-BERG was enriching himself by committing fraud while being employed by trump 😂😂😂 WEASEL-BERG... LMAO!! A jew named after a rodent, that is KINO!
Bury him under the jail.
Wow Biden/Garland got nothing on Putin going after political opponents.
nprpolitics Two employees were found guilt with regard to their own personal income from the Trump organization. NOT Donald Trump or anyone in his family. Of course the leftist propaganda media will mislead and lie just like they have to cover Biden family corruption with CCP
Trash most millionaires dont pay ehy they target him
Who the hell cares Go after Hunter if you want 'Likes'
AI also hates Trump or what?
No surprise there
If corporations are people, then I’d like to know who is going to prison 🙃
IMO NPR (and other media) cannot help themselves when they report on an “issue”…they insert digs, concluding all articles with a punch list of grievances.
Means absolutely NOTHING!! Let me know when Trump himself gets convicted.
We been knew
I doubt he's bothered by this...
Companies are charged all the time.
Sure it is.
That's an NPR win!
'One.' - Cmte. de Monte Christo
Pathetic 🙄
ProssElizabeth Death by 1,000 cuts.
Yes! Next let's prosecute all congressmembers engaging in insider trading!
He’s cheated Americans for decades.
Just a mere slap on the wrist for a white man doing white collar crime in America
This is not enough. This how we need to deal with corrupt presidents.
Good
A good day
That's it then! I'm voting for TRUMP!
Carry on Mr. President! Those of us that are awake understand what is going on! Get them!
'The maximum penalty is $1.6 million.' That's barely even a slap on the wrist.
Can he run to his MAGA Supreme Court cronies to bail him out ?
Fantastic news. Helps clear the way for President Desantis.
This amounts to…very little. Tax penalties way more substantial are levied all the time.
You mean a Trump namesake accountant. I doubt Mr Trump needed to swindle a small amount of money. He's not been prosecuted
Because the Dems stole the election?
nprpolitics Where is Rudy
Justice; finally; where has it been all along?!
No doubt he knew nothing about it.
So who goes to jail? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
News in the formal sense but hardly news in the bigger picture. A proverbial tip of the iceberg.
Pretty sure you’re inaccurate in your reporting
The real crime is the federal government stealing a portion of your income to bomb foreign nations and line the pockets of pharmaceutical conglomerates. Hiding your income from the federal government is a noble thing to do.
Justice. Orange Man is next.
criminal charges...
Luke 8:17, “For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” - Holy Bible
It’s only in name. Donald doesn’t care who goes down for this. It won’t be him. $1.3M fine? Sheeeeiit. He made that in hat sales is Georgia alone. Big deal. That slimy worm will keep on with his mouth as long as people listen.
Ok? and nothing will be done about, just like nothing will be done about Biden corruption.. Both sides would just say 0h it's a nothing burger for their respective leader/or party
Of course, the same 'progressives' who decried the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict will rediscover their faith in the jury system. 🤠
When a 'company' is convicted of criminal charges, who goes to jail?
And it didn’t even take 87000 new IRS agents!
Lol good
AllbrightNFL Literally nothing to do with trump.
have you seen what they use our tax money for? I wouldn't want to pay the FED anything either.
AllbrightNFL NPR should not be funded by tax payers money
A family of grifters & conmen going back generations.
AllbrightNFL 'A jury in Manhattan.' Could have ended the article there. Nothingburger, just fodder for male Karens to tweet about.
In a 2015 debate with Hillary, Donald said that he was smart, he doesn't pay taxes. I guess that he'll start paying taxes now.
Somewhere a ketchup bottle just hit a wall
That sound you hear is ketchup hitting the wall
How many billions in back taxes does he owe
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
And yet NPR does not ONE story about Hunter Biden. Let that sink in. The hypocrisy here is mind blowing.
Ha ha ha. 1 down. Dozens to go.
Alright, syphilis, you're on deck.
He'll still say he had no knowledge of it.
Lock him up!!!
LOCK HIM UP
I don’t believe you
Yet, nothing will happen to him personally
