Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says he believes federal tax fraud charges filed in New York City against The Trump Organization's longtime finance chief will end up being dismissed.
On July 1, The Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, were charged in what New York prosecutors called a "Sweeping and audacious" tax fraud scheme in which Trump's company and Weisselberg allegedly cheated the state and city out of taxes by conspiring to pay senior executives off the books by way of fringe benefits, such as apartment rent and car payments.
Weisselberg and attorneys for The Trump Organization have pleaded not guilty.
Ahead of the unsealing of the criminal indictment on July 1, The Trump Organization criticized Manhattan prosecutors for what they claimed was a partisan criminal investigation designed to hurt Trump politically.
In a July 1 statement, The Trump Organization said the probe "Is not justice; this is politics."
Alan Futerfas, a member of The Trump Organization's defense team, disagreed.
Dershowitz told Newsmax he believes the charges against Weisselberg, who has intimate knowledge of The Trump Organization's financial dealings, are a pressure tactic to get him to testify against Trump's company.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
