CNN first reported on the expected development.
The judge in the case is Mark Scarsi, a Trump appointee, but apparently one of the real judges the former President appointed.
Here’s the indictment.
Here’s the expenses they lay out.
The charges are:
- Failure to pay 2016
- Failure to pay 2017
- Failure to file 2017
- Failure to pay 2018
- Failure to file 2018
- Tax evasion 2018
- False return 2018
- False return 2018
- Failure to pay 2019
The three bolded charges for 2018 are the ones with big penalties.
Effectively what they did is build a bunch of lesser charges around the 2018 charges, during the worst of his addiction, for which the accounting was dicey.
