Fraud Claim
The accusation of fraud by the Trump siblings dates back to 2010. This is related to “Trump SoHo”, a hotel and condo development.
The problem the siblings were having related to sales. The properties just weren’t selling.
In an effort to generate sales, they misled buyers.
An email they sent out was reportedly discovered. The email had details about their fraud activity.
Someone who claimed they saw an email from them had this to say.
The person said the siblings “approved, knew of, agreed to, and intentionally inflated the numbers to make more sales.” They knew what they were doing was wrong.
Donald Jr. reportedly told a broker no one would find out about the fraudulence. That obviously isn’t the case now.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. prosecutors were overseeing the case. He is the one that dropped the case.
Marc Kasowitz represented the Trump siblings. He was Donald Trump Sr.’s personal lawyer.
Kasowitz donated $25,000 to Vance’s reelection campaign. He was the largest donor to the District Attorney. He went directly to Vance Jr. to ask him to drop the case.
Vance Jr. prosecutors were set to prosecute. But he overruled their decision.
Vance Jr. said “I did not at the time believe beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime had been committed.”
Regarding his decision he made another comment defending his decision.
He said “I had to make a call and I made the call, and I think I made the right call.”
