The New York City’s Mayor office has asked the Manhattan DA’s office to investigate different income statements reported on a Trump organization property in NY City….
The Manhattan DA’s office is already waiting for a Supreme Court ruling on getting Trump’s financial and tax data….
The de Blasio administration has referred findings from a review of the Trump Organization’s property tax filings to the Manhattan district attorney’s office, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday morning.
In October, WNYC and ProPublica reported that President Donald Trump’s business portfolio cited lower income from one of its properties — 40 Wall Street — in an appeal of its property tax assessment, but reported higher values on a loan document for the same building.
In October, WNYC reported that President Donald Trump’s business portfolio would cite lower income from its properties when reporting to the Department of Finance, which is in charge of levying property taxes, but would report higher values when speaking with investors.
WNYC’s Ilya Marritz followed up with the mayor during a radio appearance Friday, inquiring if the city had looked into the discrepancies.
“It was looked at, and one of the specific issues within your story — or ProPublica story originally — was referred to the district attorney because there is the possibility of a criminal act having been committed,” de Blasio said.
They mayor did not elaborate on the status of the investigation….

Story on Political Wire: “If Trump Wins Again Get Ready for Don Jr. in 2024”
I think that’s quite possible. So you’d think anyone who wants to save the GOP from becoming the Trump Dynasty part6 could suck it up and vote for the one person who can defeat Trump this year–The Democratic nominee.

I would think that would be obvious Scott!
Zreebs says
So Don Jr and Ivanka combined make up 45% of the GOP vote. Wow!
Scott P says
I bet if a ticket of Trump Sr third term with Don Jr as VP were floated it would beat them all in a poll of Republicans.
Pence, Haley, etc Your bootlicking means nothing! It’s the Trump Royal Party now.
jamesb says
I think that if Big assed Donald J. Trump LEAVES the stage?
The party GOES BACK into several different directions…
DJT would NOT have the attention he welds as President…
In addition?
He’s gonna be busy with his lawyers bobbing and weaving all sorts of legal hurdles….

Democratic Socialist Dave says
The normal sort of professional GOP bench has been neutered, emasculated and overshadowed by the need to justify [or else !] the daily antics of the C in C.
Who looks anymore at, say, Lindsey Graham, and sees a worthy bearer of John McCain’s legacy? Who imagines that Kevin McCarthy, as Speaker, would be a staunch, steadfast defender of Congress’s independence (any more than Mitch McConnell & his team today).
Living, of course, in an isolated bubble (I haven’t been to D.C. since the 30th anniversary of the March on Washington in 1993, nor to New York since 2003), I get the impression that the only Republican Senators who show even the least kind of independent thought and moral courage today come from relatively marginal (but not swing) states: Maine (Collins), Alaska (Murkowski), Utah (Romney & Mike Lee) and Kentucky (Rand Paul).
¶ And of course, this kind of poll only shows name recognition. It’s 4 1/2 years out and all kinds of unpredictable things will certainly happen by then, most importantly, who will be in the White House in 2024.
Che serà, serà; whatever will be, will be. The furure’s not ours to see; che serà, serà.
