YOUR HELP NEEDED: I’m looking for copies of documents that Trump Org. gave out over the years. Some of you (I hope) might have one sitting in a file cabinet at the office.

The docs are labeled “Donald J. Trump Statement of Financial Condition.”

They look like this. 1/

These docs, produced by @realdonaldtrump’s accountants, are not audited financial statements. They’re sales documents.
Trump used them to brag about his assets and cash, to impress potential business partners, lenders and/or journalists. 2/

But they still show exactly *how* @realdonaldtrump was bragging about his assets, w/ an unusual level of detail. For instance, here's the one version that's been made public, as an exhibit in his suit against @TimOBrien...3/ .scribd.com/document/37900…

This is 1 month *after* @realdonaldtrump got a $177M payday by selling his father’s businesses, per @nytimes. But Trump said he had $156M in cash – and, if you read the full report, it appears $100M wasn't technically his: it was refundable deposits made by his club members. 4/

I'd like to see how the cash figures in these statements changed over time.

Remember, from 2005-2015 @realdonaldtrump spent $400M+ in cash on real-estate – an unusual spreed, which the Trumps explain by saying they were rolling in unused cash. 5/ washingtonpost.com/politics/as-th…

If you have one of these docs, from any year, I'd like to see it. There are a number of ways to share it with us securely: washingtonpost.com/anonymous-news…

(pls just include a note letting me know how you got it -- I need to verify the docs, but I'll keep your name confidential). 6/

Thanks in advance! Let's see if this works... END/
