A Manhattan grand jury on Wednesday filed criminal indictments against the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, who on Thursday surrendered to face charges. The indictments are still sealed. The former president, Politico reports, was on a conference call with advisers Monday when he received word of the impending indictments, learning that he wouldn't personally be charged, and he was reportedly "thrilled by what he saw as light charges." His attention reportedly then turned to the 2024 presidential race.



"Just wait until 2024, you'll see," Trump reportedly said, suggesting the charges would be seen as a witch hunt against him.

One adviser on the call "had the impression" that Trump "was emboldened by the news," Politico writes, with the adviser saying, "Now he's definitely going to run for president." Trump told Fox News Wednesday that he's already made up his mind about whether to run in 2024.

Weisselberg charged with 15 felonies including 2nd degree grand larceny

Wow

These charges aren't much but weisselberg is in his late 70s, so any amount of time in handcuffs would be major time in his book. I don't see how he wouldn't snitch.

For me the choice between Trump and dying in prison isn't that hard. Trump doesn't have a great reputation for loyalty.

New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a statement Thursday calling the indictment against the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg an, “important marker in the ongoing criminal investigation.”

Her statement reads:

“Today is an important marker in the ongoing criminal investigation of the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg. In the indictment, we allege, among other things, financial wrongdoing whereby the Trump Organization engaged in a scheme with Mr. Weisselberg to avoid paying taxes on certain compensation. This investigation will continue, and we will follow the facts and the law wherever they may lead.”
The statement says "The charges relate to the alleged failure by Weisselberg to pay New York state and federal income taxes on approximately $1.7 million in compensation. This is part of an ongoing criminal investigation conducted by Attorney General James and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr."
