Dangers intensify for Trump as Vance brings charges
| The legal and political dangers facing former President Trump became a lot more real Thursday, when his closest lieutenant in running his businesses, Allen Weisselberg, gave himself up to prosecutors at dawn.
Weisselberg, along with the Trump Organization, was reportedly indicted the previous day. The charges are said to involve the alleged shielding of fringe benefits from appropriate taxation. Much depends on the exact nature of the allegations and the evidence that prosecutors, led by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, have uncovered to support them. The political world is abuzz about the indictments being unsealed — something that is expected to happen within hours. |
