Trump Organization Convicted in Tax Fraud and Falsifying Business Records Case

Guilty on 34 Felony Counts

A New York jury has found the Trump Organization guilty on multiple charges of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records.

The verdict marks a significant legal setback for former President Donald Trump, whose family business has been under investigation for years. The jury deliberated for two days before reaching their decision.

The charges against the Trump Organization stemmed from a scheme to avoid paying taxes on employee compensation. The company allegedly provided executives with perks and bonuses that were not reported as income, resulting in millions of dollars in unpaid taxes.

The Trump Organization is now facing fines and other penalties as a result of the conviction. The company could also face additional legal challenges, as the verdict could embolden other prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against Trump and his associates.
