Prosecutors Seek Cooperation of Trump Confidant, Subpoena Manhattan Private School

8. So the tuition was supposed to be some sort of gift from Trump, right? How is it delineated to IRS?

Did Trump have Weisselberg put it in his (Trump’s) taxes as a business expense? Did Weisselberg put it in his own taxes as a gift? Inquiring minds at IRS and at the SDNY would like to know, I am sure.

Weisselberg’s daughter in law thought her & hubby’s apartment in Trump Tower was a wedding present from the Donald, and wrote him an effusive thank you letter. Years later, it turned out it was not a gift at all. The implications of this misunderstanding on her part and the lie on his part are mind-boggling.

For one thing, once she decided the marriage was over, it was reasonable for her to assume the apartment was community property, i.e. half hers, and that she could realize a nice nest egg upon its sale. This is an important consideration for a woman with children. But no — it belongs to Donald.

As for Trump, how did he and Weisselberg Sr and Jr explain this arrangement on their taxes?

I hope the Mad Orange King of Mar A Lago meets the same fate as Al Capone: imprisoned for taxes.
