NEW YORK — A six-month grand jury that was convened late last year to hear evidence against Donald Trump was set to expire this week, closing a chapter in a lengthy criminal investigation that appears to be fizzling out without charges against the former president, people familiar with matter said.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), who took office in January, inherited a probe launched by his predecessor, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., who was convinced that there was a case against Trump for crimes related to manipulating the value of property assets to secure tax advantages or better loan rates.

‘Significant’ evidence suggests Trump Organization misstated asset values for more than a decade, NY AG says
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/29/ny-...usiness-misstated-asset-values-for-years.html

The New York Attorney General’s probe of the Trump Organization “uncovered significant evidence” suggesting that the company’s financial statements for more than a decade relied on misleading valuations of its real estate assets, a court filing said.

Those potentially inaccurate valuations were used “to secure economic benefits — including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions — on terms more favorable than the true facts warranted,” the office said in a court filing.

The filing was made in response to the Trump Organization and former President Donald Trump’s appeal of a judge’s order that Trump and two of his adult children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, had to submit to interviews under oath by investigators from James’ office.

The New York Attorney General’s Office has “uncovered significant evidence” suggesting that financial statements by the Trump Organization relied on misleading valuations of its real estate assets for more than a decade, the office said in a court filing Tuesday.

Those potentially misleading valuations “and other misrepresentations” were used by the company owned by ex-President Donald Trump “to secure economic benefits — including loans, insurance coverage, and tax deductions — on terms more favorable than the true facts warranted,” the filing alleged.

The claims by Attorney General Letitia James were made in response to an appeal by the Trump Organization and Donald Trump of last month’s order by a Manhattan state court judge directing Trump and two of his adult children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump to submit to interviews by James’ investigators.

James issued subpoenas to those three people “to help reach a final determination about whether there has been civil fraud” committed in connection with the asset valuations “and who may be responsible for such fraud,” the filing said.

In one glaring example, the financial statements for the Trump Organization from 2010 to 2012 “collectively valued” rent-stabilized apartment units it owned at $49.59 million, which was “over sixty-six times the $750,000 total value the outside appraiser had assigned to these units,” the filing said in a footnote.

The attorney general has said she is conducting both a civil investigation and a criminal probe related to the company.

“Mr. Trump personally certified the accuracy of the Statements for the years prior to 2016, at which point his assets were placed in a revocable trust,” while Donald Jr. “was responsible for the Statements for the years 2016 to 2020,” James noted in the filing.

That document said that from 2012 through 2016, the company’s financial statements said that Trump’s triplex apartment in Trump Tower in Manhattan “exceeded 30,000 square and valued the apartment at up to $327 million based on those dimensions,” the filing noted.

But in 2017, the company’s statement “slashed the apartment’s value by two-thirds, sizing the residence at just under 11,000 square fees,” which is the figure specified in the offering plan for the building, the filing said.

That year was also Trump’s first year as president of the United States.

Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg and Controller Jeffrey McConney “played a role in crafting the financial statements at the crux of this investigation,” according to the filing by James.

The attorney general said that Weisselberg and McConney were among more than 40 witnesses interviewed in her office’s civil probe of the company.

When questioned about the valuation of Trump’s personal residence, Weisselberg “admitted that the apartment’s value had been overstated by “give or take” $200 million,” the filing said.

“So far, the investigation has uncovered significant evidence potentially indicating that, for more than a decade, these financial statements relied on misleading asset valuations and other misrepresentations,” James said in the filing in the First Department Appellate Division of New York Supreme Court.

Spokeswomen for Trump and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

James has been investigating Trump’s company for several years.

The probe was sparked by sworn testimony from Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

Cohen told Congress that the Trump Organization had given different valuations for the same properties in order to obtain more favorable terms on loans and insurance, and to lower their taxes.

Donald Jr. runs the Trump Organization with his brother Eric Trump, who previously was questioned in the probe.

The filing notes that when Eric Trump and Weisselberg were separately deposed in the investigation, they each “repeatedly invoked [their] Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, refusing to answer more than 500 questions apiece.”

Ivanka Trump previously served as a company executive.

In Tuesday’s filing, James said that Ivanka from 2011 to 2013 held an option to buy the Trump Park Avenue penthouse where she lived for $8.5 million, even as the financial statements of the Trump Organization valued the same unit at triple that price — up to $25 million.

And in 2014, after Ivanka acquired an option to buy an even bigger apartment for $14.3 million, “the ensuing year’s Statement lowered the larger apartment’s value from $45 million,” which was its previously assigned value, to the option price that she had actually paid, the filing said.

James’ office in February revealed that the Trump Organization’s long-time accounting firm Mazars had fired the company as a client after saying that a decade’s worth of financial statements about Donald Trump’s financial condition “should no longer be relied on.”

Weisselberg, the Trump Organization, and a subsidiary of the company last summer were criminally charged in an indictment obtained by the Manhattan District Attorney accusing them of a scheme that since 2005 had helped Weisselberg and other company executives avoid taxes on their compensations.

The defendants have pleaded not guilty in that case.

As announced in the past, the new Manhattan district attorney stopped pursuing the case. The other case being pursued by the New York State Attorney General is in the forefront — and it is not clear if this state level case will continue either.

Correction........SPECIAL Grand Jury Time

The chief judge’s order says the special grand jury is to be seated for a period of up to a year, beginning Monday. Unlike a regular grand jury, which hears many different cases and can issue indictments, a special grand jury focuses on investigating a single topic and produces a report on its findings.
