The NYAG’s and Manhattan DA Vance’s probes include Weisselberg’s personal taxes, his role at Trump Org, his personal finances, and benefits given to his son Barry, a longtime Trump Org employee who allegedly got >$500,000 of untaxed benefits.🧐
The NYAG’s tax prove of Weisselberg's personal finances was opened MONTHS ago and is being coordinated with the Manhattan DA's probe of Trump Org (including Trump's tax returns, UNTAXED perks given to employees), Weisselberg's finances, and benefits he and his son received.🧐
Prosecutors are probing rent payments on Weisselberg’s Manhattan apartment and are exploring whether Trump Org doled out benefits to employees instead of salary to lower its payroll taxes.
🔥Both probes were launched >2 years ago & include examining whether Trump Org illegally inflated the value of its properties to get favorable terms for loan, insurance coverage and tax benefits, while also illegally reducing their real estate taxes.
Prosecutors are also probing Trump Org’s handling of hush money payments made to @StormyDaniels to bury her affair with Trump.
🔥WHOA: The AG's criminal probe of Weisselberg's personal finances began—in part—because of 25 YEARS worth of financial documents shared by his ex-daughter-in-law Jennifer Weisselberg, formerly married to his son Barry.
Barry worked for Trump Org for 2 decades.😎
Jennifer was married for 14 years to Barry Weisselberg (CFO Allen’s son), who managed Trump Org businesses contracted out by NYC in Central Park, including Wollman Rink and Lasker Rink. It is not clear if he is still employed by Trump Org.
Jennifer has 25 YEARS of financials.😂
Jennifer says that at least some of her 2 children's school tuition payments ($54k/yr per kid) were paid for by Donald Trump:
"I know for a fact Donald wrote those checks.”
If Trump Org and/or Allen didn’t pay taxes on these benefits, that’s #TaxFraud.💥
🛸FINALLY: the US government confirms the existence of #UFO’s: former head of @DeptofDefense’s #UFO program: “The government has already stated for the record that they're real. I'm not telling you that. The US government is telling you that.”
“I don't know who's building it, who's got the technology, who's got the brains. But there's something out there that was better than our airplane,” former Navy pilot David Fravor about his encounter with a #UFO in 2004.🛸
Chris Mellon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, said the #UFO’s demonstrated capabilities beyond those of the most advanced US aircraft. "The acceleration is far beyond anything that we're capable.”🛸
🚨The Feds conducted pre-dawn raids of Rudy Giuliani's home & business, along with the home of Victoria Toensing, who represented Dmitry Firtash, a pro-#Russia Ukrainian mobligarch under indictment in the US.
Prosecutors are investigating Giuliani's role in the ouster of then-Ambassador to #Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who blew the whistle on Trump's corrupt efforts (via Lev Parnas & Igor Fruman) to dig up/make up dirt on Biden in #Ukraine.
🚨BREAKING: Joel Greenberg—a former #Florida county tax collector—is COOPERATING with federal prosecutors has disclosed that he and @mattgaetz “had encounters with women who were given cash or gifts in exchange for sex.”
‼️@TheJusticeDept is investigating the involvement of Greenberg, Gaetz et al with multiple women who were recruited online for sex and got cash, and whether the men **had sex with a 17-year-old** in violation of sex trafficking statutes.🤬🤢🤮
Greenberg began speaking with investigators once he realized that the government had “overwhelming evidence” against him and that his only path to leniency lay in cooperation.
🚨BREAKING: In the final weeks of Trump’s term, @mattgaetz privately asked the White House for blanket pre-emptive pardons for himself and unidentified congressional allies for any crimes they may have committed.
Around that time, DOJ investigators had begun questioning Gaetz’s associates about him, including whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-yo that violated #SexTrafficking laws, that grew out of the case of an indicted associate in #Florida. nytimes.com/2021/03/30/us/…
Gaetz also publicly called for broad pardons from Trump to thwart what he falsely termed the “bloodlust” of @GOP political opponents. Some Trump associates now speculate that Gaetz’s request for a group #pardon was an attempt to camouflage his own potential criminal exposure.🧐
🚨BREAKING: Great news! @CDCgov says fully vaccinated people can:
▶️Visit vaccinated people indoors w/o masks/physical distancing
▶️Visit indoors w/low-risk unvaccinated people from a single household w/o masks/physical distancing
▶️NO quarantine/testing if exposed to #COVID19
BUT vaccinated people still must:
▶️ #WearAMask /physical distance near high-risk unvaccinated & unvaccinated w/high-risk household member
▶️Wear masks/physically distance when w/unvaccinated people from multiple households
▶️ Wear masks/physically distance in public
CDC says the risk of infection when going to the gym or restaurant is lower for the fully vaccinated, but people should still take precautions as the risk in these settings is higher and increases if more unvaccinated people are present.😷
🔥A federal probe into the overseas and business dealings of Rudy Giuliani has resumed after being stalled last year amid Giuliani’s prominent role helping Trump’s attempt to overturn the election.
“The full scope of the investigation is unclear, but it at least partly involves Giuliani’s Ukraine dealings, the officials said.”😎
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan pushed last year for a search warrant for records, including some of Giuliani’s communications, but officials in the Trump-era DOJ *refused* to sign off on the request.🤬
