and his longtime finance chief are expected to be charged today with tax-related crimes stemming from a New York investigation into the former president’s business dealings, people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.Allen Weisselberg

The charges against Mr Weisselberg and the Trump Organisation would be first criminal cases to arise from the two-year probe led by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr, a Democrat who leaves office at the end of the year. Trump’s spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Jason Miller, a longtime former senior adviser to the Republican, spun the looming charges as “politically terrible for the Democrats”.

Mr Trump had blasted the investigation in a statement on Monday, deriding Mr Vance’s office as “rude, nasty, and totally biased” in their treatment of Trump company lawyers, representatives, and long-term employees. Ron Fischetti, a lawyer for the Trump Organisation, told the AP this week that there was no indication Mr Trump himself was included in the first batch of charges.“I can’t say he’s out of the woods yet completely.”

“We have been working with prosecutors for many months now as part of this tax and financial investigation and have provided a large volume of evidence that allowed them to bring these charges,” Jen Weisselberg's lawyer, Duncan Levin, said.Allen Weisselberg has worked for the Trump Organisation since 1973.
