Trump Organization facing possible criminal charges, sources say

June 26, 2021

The Trump Organization is expected to be hit with criminal charges as soon as next week by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office in a case that Trump attorneys say is tied to tax-related conduct, multiple people familiar with the matter tell NBC News. Also potentially facing charges is the company's longtime CFO, Allen Weisselberg, The Times reported. Fischetti said company lawyers met with Vance’s office on Thursday and tried to persuade the Manhattan DA’s office not to go forward. The investigation appears to have picked up steam in recent months, after Vance's office won a lengthy battle to get ahold of Trump's personal and corporate tax returns and underlying financial documents in February. "Mr. Trump is outraged that they are still going after him by going after his company where he has loyal employees for decades,” Fischetti said.
