MSNBC panelist explains how decades of tax fraud could cost Trump millions

Salon  

A former assistant U.S. Attorney explained how a bombshell investigative report published by the New York Times could spell big trouble for President Donald Trump and his family. “There are bogus loans — that is a hallmark of fraud, where you say, ‘I will give you a loan,’ and then it just is never paid back, it’s not actually a loan.” Fred Trump reportedly dumped $3.3 million in casino chips to bail out his son, and the family also allegedly played games with their tax filings. “So they undervalue it when it’s convenient and then they overvalue the same property when it’s convenient, as well, and that is — that’s another hallmark of fraud.” Although the statute of limitations has run out for the alleged crimes uncovered by Times reporters, but Goldman said the president might eventually be required to pay millions in back taxes. Trump’s sister, federal Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, was heavily implicated in the Times report, and Goldman said she could face punishment for her alleged role in fraud.
