https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/15/politics/trump-organization-documents-ny-attorney-general/index.html Trump Organization must turn over documents to NY attorney general, judge rules (CNN)A state judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump Organization must turn over documents related to a property whose tax abatements were being investigated by New York Attorney General Letitia James' office. The Trump Organization previously claimed the documents were protected by attorney-client privilege. Amy Carlin, an attorney for the Trump Organization, argued Tuesday that the Trump organization had "every expectation that those communications would be confidential," regarding discussions about a property in Westchester County involving an engineer. The attorney general's office argued that the documents were not privileged, in part, because the Trump Organization had "waived privilege" when it disclosed certain documents to the IRS to "gain benefit," said attorney Eric Haren with the attorney general's office. New York AG seeks to depose Eric Trump in investigation of Trump's finances Haren said that "literally everything other than the final appraisal value" was not disclosed to his office. James' office has been investigating President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization since 2019, when Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen testified before Congress that Trump's annual financial statements inflated the values of his assets in order to secure favorable loans and insurance coverage, but deflated the value of other assets in order to reduce real estate taxes. Haren argued Tuesday that refusal to release those documents has "delayed" the attorney general's ability to investigate. New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron made the ruling after arguments were conducted remotely Tuesday. Engoron previously ruled that the documents were privileged.
That shit will get dismissed. Trump is untouchable, because too many people are donating to his "defense fund".
He may not be able to spend that money the way he wishes. I just ran through possibilities with a friend who actually used to work for the mayor of building 7 and she thinks Donny may have have too many violations. Money can do a lot but NYC hates his ass. This subway scene which scared the poop poop out of me as a kid comes to mind, it seemed just too much, too long and unfair. I'm just hoping little Donathy just gets crushed by the pillars at the end this time.
A really bad movie, based on a really bad play. Did you know a regional electronics retailer had to change their name because of that BS asstastic play? Yer better than that shit, man.
Well they initially offered the part of scarecrow played by Michael Jackson to Jimmie "Dy-no-mite" Walker but he turned it down as he wanted to star in the parody version with Donniethe years later. https://www.thedailybeast.com/good-times-star-jimmie-walkers-journey-from-dy-no-mite-to-alt-right

Mr. Vance’s office has said it is investigating possible bank, tax or insurance fraud. Prosecutors have subpoenaed information from former President Donald Trump’s banks, lenders, an insurance broker and other parties, The Wall Street Journal has previously reported.
