Breaking News: The Trump Organization has been found guilty of fraud in a criminal trial.

A jury found the company guilty on all counts in the fraud prosecution.

 

‘The former president’s companies now stand convicted of crimes,’ Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg said after the verdict. ‘That is consequential. It underscores that in Manhattan we have one standard of justice for all.’ 

 

Over the last 15 years, the company carried out a criminal scheme to defraud the IRS, the court found.

Trump has ranted it was a ‘witch hunt’ and though he wasn’t named directly, this will impact the ability of the Trump Organization to do business going forward.

And Trump still faces a separate civil suit by New York AG Letitia James, who is suing the company and family members for $250 million.
