John, Last week, prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office indicted the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg, with 15 counts in regards to a massive tax fraud scheme. The Trump Organization, the indictment states, funneled over $1.7 million to Weisselberg in the form of unreported cars, an apartment, school tuition, and additional cash, hiding the payments from the IRS for nearly two decades while keeping detailed internal records in spreadsheets. “There is no clearer example of a company that should be held to criminal account,” said Carey Dunne, General Counsel with the office of the Manhattan District Attorney. While former President Trump has yet to be charged in connection to his namesake organization’s fraud, it may only be a matter of time. That said, Trump must be held accountable not only for these state crimes in New York, but for all federal crimes he may have committed. Can you chip in to help us ensure the DOJ holds Trump accountable for his abuses of power? Free Speech For People is leading the campaign for an independent US Department of Justice task force to investigate any potential federal criminal or civil violations that may have been committed by former President Trump, members of his administration, or his campaign, business, or other associates. For at least the past five years, Donald Trump, along with his aides and associates, has engaged in a flurry of unethical, unconstitutional, and often criminal activity, culminating with his incitement and encouragement of the seditious insurrection at the United States Capitol on January 6th. If we are to begin the process of restoring the integrity of the Department of Justice and the rule of law to our nation, it is essential that the Department thoroughly investigate these actions and, where warranted and appropriate, hold accountable those who have violated the nation’s laws. As the Department of Justice has long recognized, “the President is not above the law, and...he is ultimately accountable for his misconduct that occurs before, during, and after his service to the country.” To fulfill this principle, we are urging an independent task force to investigate—and, if appropriate, prosecute—former President Trump, his officials, and his associates.
