(ORDO NEWS) — A Manhattan jury found two companies owned by former US President Donald Trump guilty of tax fraud and falsifying business records, CNN reported on Tuesday.
According to his data, the court decided that Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp. were implicated in a 15-year-old scheme to defraud the US tax authorities. Both companies were found guilty of all charges against them.
The owner of these firms and the former head of state, as well as his relatives, are not involved in this case, and no charges have been brought against them, the TV channel clarifies.
Former US President Donald Trump has accused the Justice Department of corruption.
“The Department of Justice is corrupt. They offered Christopher Steele $1 million to lie about me, paid a Russian fortune to ‘get to Trump’, ordered Facebook. Not to mention Hunter Biden’s laptop in front of elections,” the ex-president wrote on Truth Social.
He also questioned whether Special Counsel appointed in November Jack Smith would be allowed to investigate the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots, which Trump said were due to a “corrupt 2020 election” won by current US President Joe Biden.
