The Manhattan DA and New York State Attorney General are both probing what the Trump Organization and Trump himself say they are worth…
Trump’s main accountant’s just released a memo saying what Trump has told them is subject to questions….
Then NY Times has done a few stories on how Trump’s wealth isn’t what ‘he ‘ says it is….
Now Donald Trump being who he is?
Has NOT STF up….
He is doubled up on making shit up about money he obviously doesn’t have…
The guy just doesn’t stop….
“My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings,” he testified in 2007 as part of his unsuccessful lawsuit over a book that suggested he was not really a billionaire.
Now, though, he faces multiple investigations that threaten to hold his questionable claims up to the light. In New York, two law enforcement inquiries are examining whether he fraudulently submitted overblown real estate valuations to secure loans. And in Georgia, a grand jury is looking into Mr. Trump’s attempts to pressure state officials to “find 11,780 votes” — his margin of defeat in 2020 in that battleground state — that he baselessly asserted had been stolen from him.
For Mr. Trump, such casual dalliances with inaccuracies and lies have long been central to his modus operandi, which he once famously described as “truthful hyperbole.” He has employed this “very effective form of promotion,” as he called it, to sell himself and build the brand that ultimately helped vault him to the White House.
Along the way, his puffery often came with unfortunate consequences for average people who could not distinguish truth from hyperbole. Yet for the most part, he avoided serious legal consequences, sometimes by paying to end lawsuits and, in at least one instance, stifle a criminal investigation….

And with all this?
Trump is the overwhelming favorite to be the Republican nominee in 2024 if he runs.
jamesb says

But he’e working on digging himself into a hole like he tends to do with almost everything
jamesb says
Update…..
Judge just ruled Trump and family members are to sit for Q & A’s with NYS AG people….
Hmmmm?
Does Trump appeal this?
My Name Is Jack says
You don’t get it do you?
Republicans don’t give a damn about all this.
The only way this effects Trump is if he’s physically in jail.
Otherwise he will rail against the “ conspiracy “ to “ get” him,the Right wing media will join in, and75% or so of Republicans will say they believe him ,while another 10% or so will say they don’t believe him but it’s all just some screwed up paperwork and they will still support him if he runs.
jamesb says
Not quite…….
As you say
Most Trump minions don’t
But i have pointed out in numerous pieces that Republican law makers, especially those in the US Senate ARE concerned and have become vocal about it…

The House people are quiet with the Greene types close to them
