New York federal prosecutors in recent months have undertaken at least two investigations into Trump-related entities. The first one, which CNN has reported stemmed from the office's case against Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, is examining possible campaign-finance violations by executives at the Trump Organization during the company's effort to reimburse Cohen for hush-money payments he made or orchestrated to silence women who claimed affairs with Trump. Trump has denied those affairs.
In the Cohen probe, one Trump Organization executive, chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, was granted immunity by federal prosecutors to provide information concerning Cohen, CNN has reported.
The second investigation concerns the Trump inaugural committee and possible financial abuses related to the more than $100 million in donations raised for his inauguration, CNN has reported.
On Monday, prosecutors issued a sweeping subpoena to the committee, requesting documents related to virtually every donor or donation, attendee at a committee event, piece of paperwork related to the legal requirements attached to donations and even "the possibility of" donations made by foreign nationals.
The subpoena, a copy of which was reviewed by CNN, also disclosed that prosecutors are investigating an array of potential crimes, including conspiracy against the US, false statements, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, inaugural committee disclosure violations, and violations of laws prohibiting contributions by foreign nations and contributions in the name of another person, also known as straw donors.
A spokeswoman for the committee said Monday that it would cooperate with the inquiry. Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday that Trump "had little to no involvement in the inaugural committee."
While prosecutors in New York haven't charged any Trump-linked officials aside from Cohen, who pleaded guilty in August and is set to begin his prison sentence in March, they have undertaken various investigative steps in addition to the subpoena.
Prosecutors have questioned at least two former Trump campaign officials, according to people familiar with the matter. One official who was questioned last summer was asked about coordination between the Trump Organization and the campaign, one of these people said.
Investigators asked this official how the Trump Organization was structured and which accounts were used to pay campaign staffers and other campaign-related bills, this person said.
Despite the flurry of recent activity from the Manhattan US Attorney's office, however, it's not clear that any of its ongoing inquiries will result in charges. The investigation into possible campaign-finance violations at the company appears to be in its final stages, according to one person involved in it.
Based on public evidence and reporting, it appears that way. Intent is always a tricky issue so it depends on what Mueller has gathered from the cooperation of George Nader and Rick Gates, as well as all the interviews with employees from Joel Zamel's Psy-Group firm.So Prince is in line for perjury charges too?
We need taxes to fund things like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. I think wealthy individuals should be paying their fair share.i dont get why we should tax the rich more

We need taxes to fund things like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. I think wealthy individuals should be paying their fair share.
Taxing the wealthy at a higher rate would bring more tax revenue, and it would hopefully help reduce income inequality.
Even if the wealthy are creating jobs, are they creating well paying jobs? Wages have been stagnant.
The physical barrier for sure getting erected. What a waste of time the shutdown was.
The internet suggests that his net worth if over $15M. I'm not sure you need that much money if you have god, and the Bible is also pretty clear on how it views rich people.
As always, these conservative *******s invoke god when it's convenient. As always, they are ****ing hypocrites.
