The Trump Organization Has One More Day To Convince Prosecutors Against Charges
HuffPost
The company, which New York prosecutors are probing over its financial dealings, has until Monday to persuade them against filing criminal charges.
New York prosecutors have reportedly given former President Donald Trump’s attorneys until Monday to convince them to not file criminal charges against the Trump Organization over its financial dealings. The deal could signal that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. and New York Attorney General Letitia James are considering criminal charges against the company as an entity, as first reported Sunday by The Washington Post, citing two people familiar with the matter. The two offices are working together after each one spent years investigating Trump’s business. On Friday, The New York Times and NBC News reported that Vance’s office could file charges against the Trump Organization as soon as the upcoming week. Attorneys working for Trump personally and for the organization reportedly met with Vance’s office on Thursday in an attempt to convince prosecutors to drop the charges. According to the Times and the Post, such opportunities to persuade prosecutors against filing charges are not abnormal in white-collar criminal investigations.More Related News
