Westchester County district attorney's office investigating Trump Organization golf course property taxes
CNN
The Westchester County, New York, district attorney's office has opened an investigation into the Trump Organization, looking into whether the company misled a local town over the property value of its golf course for tax purposes, multiple people familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN.
Investigators are looking at the value Trump placed on the property in public federal disclosure forms compared to the much lower value that was negotiated with officials in the town where the golf club is located, a source confirmed to CNN.
The investigation has been ongoing for months. At this time no one has been charged or accused of wrongdoing. A spokesperson for the Trump Organization denied any wrongdoing.
