Federal prosecutors criminally investigating Trump’s $107 million inauguration



Trump couldn't keep his greasy crooked fingers off the pot of gold. Shameful

Actually, Melania was the one in control of the inaugural party... Oooops!

It's all documented. This will be an easy open shut case done in a year or less with criminal convictions.

Do you think the case will be closed sooner or do you think it's going to take longer than a year?

Federal prosecutors criminally investigating Donald Trump’s $107 million inauguration

Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York are investigating Donald Trump’s inaugural committee, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Citing “people familiar with the matter,” The Journal reports the criminal probe is misspent funds and “also is examining whether some of the committee’s top donors gave money in exchange for access to the incoming Trump administration, policy concessions or to influence official administration positions.”

Donations in exchange for favors could violate anti-corruption law.

The committee was registered as a nonprofit and spent a record $107 million dollars.

“In April raids of Mr. Cohen’s home, office and hotel room, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents obtained a recorded conversation between Mr. Cohen and Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former adviser to Melania Trump, who worked on the inaugural events,” The Journal reported. “In the recording, Ms. Wolkoff expressed concern about how the inaugural committee was spending money, according to a person familiar with the Cohen investigation.”

“The inaugural committee has publicly identified vendors accounting for $61 million of the $103 million it spent, and it hasn’t provided details on those expenses, according to tax filings,” The Journal added. “The committee raised more than double what former President Barack Obama’s first inaugural fund reported raising in 2009, the previous record. President Trump’s funds came largely from wealthy donors and corporations who gave $1 million or more—including casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, AT&T Inc. and Boeing Co., according to Federal Election Commission filings.”

The federal government has a key cooperating witness in the investigation.
