Manhattan grand jury indicts Trump Organization and CFO
A Manhattan grand jury indicted the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg on Wednesday, according to reports.
The Manhattan district attorney's office is expected to bring charges against former President Donald Trump's family business and its longtime chief financial officer on Thursday, NPR confirmed.
Weisselberg oversaw the day-to-day operations of the former US President’s family business while Donald Trump was in office. He is expected to face criminal charges for allegedly paying employees off the books to avoid taxes.
It was not immediately clear how many charges are in the indictments but Trump has already denied any wrongdoing. Trump himself isn't expected to be charged, his lawyer said.
In recent weeks, Trump lashed out at the inquiries, deriding the probe, which is led by Vance and New York state Attorney General Letitia James, as conducted by "radical left" officials.
"Having politically motivated prosecutors, people who actually got elected because they will 'get Donald Trump,' is a very dangerous thing for our Country," he said in a statement earlier this week. "Why would anyone bring their company to New York, or even stay in New York, knowing these Radical Left Democrats would willingly target their company if viewed as a political opponent? It is devastating for New York!"
