A jury has finished deliberation over a criminal investigation into former President 's family business, the Trump Organization.

According to CNN, a Manhattan jury has found two companies guilty on multiple charges of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records connected to a 15-year scheme to defraud tax authorities by failing to report and pay on compensation for top executives.

The Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp. were found guilty on all charges they faced.

The former president nor any of his family members were charged in the case. Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg pleaded guilty to 15 felonies for failing to pay taxes on $1.76 million in income. As part of his plea deal, he will be sentenced to five months in jail if the judge finds that he testified truthfully.

  1. Funny and not ha ha that billions have been illegally goingt hunter and biden family but that is okay

  2. As usual Republican bad, Democrats good. Biden’s and Clinton’s are the real problem. No more trials in New York or Washington DC, way too corrupt for fair trial. All Democrats tried in red states.

  3. Remember, this is with a judge, prosecutor, jury all in NYC. What other verdict would anyone expect? If the Trump name shows up anywhere, the verdict is guilty in the incredibly biased NYC courts. Why bother having the jury go to deliberations….they all knew what the result would be.

  4. The man who received 5 months said what the prosecution wanted him to say so he would get a deal. I would like to know who testified on behalf of the Trump organization.

  5. Isn’t this similar to when your accountant claims to be paying your bills but doesn’t? This whole article seems to be a lame hit piece to me. Why make it sound like Pres Trump and family are the only multi billion dollar company to have trust in accountants/lawyers to do their jobs properly only to find out they haven’t? When you have billions of dollars into multiple businesses it is not unusual to hire accountants and tax lawyers to sift through the legalities! Remember when Willie Nelson’s ran off with all his cash and left him broke, who blamed Willie and not his money guy?
    Good grief, I get sick of this nonsense!
