The Trump Organization, the namesake enterprise founded by former President Donald Trump, and its chief financial officer are expected to be charged as soon as Thursday with tax-related offenses as part of a long-running inquiry headed by the Manhattan district attorney and New York’s attorney general into the operations of the family real estate business, a person familiar with the matter told USA TODAY.
Allen Weisselberg, the company’s CFO, is expected to face charges for allegedly failing to pay taxes on fringe benefits from the company, including school tuition.
Weisselberg’s attorney declined comment.
The timing and nature of the charges were first reported earlier Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal.
The district attorney’s office declined comment
