Actually they were after Trump for a number of crimes before he even entered politics. They held off while he ran for president in order not to influence the election. Then they had to hold to hold off because you could not indict a sitting president.
But now that Trump is no longer protected by the DOJ OLC, or his hand picked AG, prosecutors all over are free to continue where they left off.
The Office of Government Ethics on Thursday released President Trump’s personal financial disclosure documents for 2018, showing multimillion-dollar assets.
Interesting, so they started investigating in 2011, after he filed, concluded it in 2014...with nothing against Trump...and then in 2016...the year he won the Oval, the Obama admin reopened it....and since 2016...what do you know..still nothing from the Committee, even though it's been under Dem control.
and yes it does appear he was under audit like he said.
Criminal investigation into Trump inflating his asset values for financial leverage, while at the same time under-valuing them to IRS would be directly relvant to this despute.
Access to Trump's financial records to that end has only been granted very recently, after he left the WH.
IRS taxes income which sometimes has to do with your asset valuations.
Bottom line is that Trump is under investigations in NY and there is open case over 70 million dollar tax liability.
"Financial disclosures" are far from a complete financial record make and are in a lot of ways ambiguous:
for exmaple:
Trump claims on his new disclosures that in 2018, the property generated income of $75,962,848. His forms from last year say the course generated $74,755,375 in 2017. That's about in line with the $75 million total revenue the Trump Organization claimed to Miami-Dade County tax officials in 2017, according to a Washington Post report this week.
But the company told Miami authorities that net operating income -- profit, that is -- fell from $13.8 million to $4.3 million, according to the Post. That's a clear indication that what Trump himself took home from Doral -- his personal income -- was much less than the amount he listed as "income" on his OGE form.
The IRS taxes your income for a year, not what you are overall worth.....you can be taxed on cap gains, but not that's not gonna happen until that real estate is sold
Yes, Trump has been under investigation by Vance for 5 years now, and he still has nothing.
Is it possible he owns more in taxes another audit? Maybe, but ok.....that happens...nothing criminal about that
People don't usually spend that much effort and money to avoid basic compliance with an investigation unless there is something damaging to be discovered.
They do if they have the funds....basic common sense would tell me not to simply bend over and take it from the Govt....I guess some people, like yourself, will let Govt run all over your rights, an abuse their power...but some people love freedom...some people don't I guess.
Horsecrap. Government has a right to duly investigate you.
Trump's lawyer has testified under oath to Congress about Trump engaging in fraud and you won't even allow for possiblity that the reason Trump is fighting tooth and nail to not comply with the criminal investigation is due to actual guilt? Ridiculous.
yes, the ex-lawyer his admin prosecuted....and yes the Dems brought him out of jail to testify before them...what's your point? that was years ago, and they still can't find any evidence to support criminal charges??
My point is that you have to be Trump tool to not even allow for possiblity that Trump actually did something wrong given all the testimony against him, an open criminal investigation, and Trump's hostile non-complaince with it.

so, the State of NY has had his state tax filings for well...since he filed them...now they got his Federal stuff, that the Fed has had for, well since he filed them.....what is going to be in the Federal stuff, that the State of NY is going to use to prosecute him for State crimes?
Thats is some shit you are smoking there. Cohen was prosecuted by the the NY Southern District office, Trump was listed in that same case as Individual 1, for who's benefit Cohen lied to Congress.
Trump turned on Cohen, because unlike Trump's other criminal lakeys that were later corruptly pardoned, Cohen actually co-operated with further investigations of Individual 1's shenedigans like farudulent scheme to pay off his **** dolls during the campaign and etc.
