Trump Organization Expects to Face Criminal Charges in Manhattan, Attorney Says – TRUMPED-UP CHARGES … WHEN WILL ‘CREATING A CRIME’ BECOME PROSECUTABLE??
NBC NEW YORK | June 25, 2021
The Trump Organization reportedly could face criminal charges in Manhattan as soon as next week; an attorney said they will plead not guilty
Donald Trump’s real estate company expects to face criminal charges in Manhattan, but will move immediately to dismiss them, an attorney for the former president said Friday.
Sources familiar with the matter tell NBC News that the charges could be filed as soon as next week, in a case believed to be tied to allegations of tax evasion over compensation paid out to top executives.
Attorney Ron Fischetti confirmed to NBC an earlier New York Times report that lawyers for the Trump Organization met with prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office on Thursday.
“It looks like they are going to come down with charges against the company and that is completely outrageous,” Fischetti said.
“The meeting was on Zoom for about 9 minutes and there were 8 or 9 prosecutors … the corporate office will plead not guilty and we will make an immediate motion to dismiss the case against the corporation,” Fischetti said.
