Кстати про налогооблажение.

The New York State attorney general’s office has stepped up its inquiry into whether President Trump and the Trump Organization committed fraud by overstating assets to get bank loans, asking a judge to order Eric Trump to answer questions under oath and the company to hand over documents, court papers show.
Mr. Trump, who is President Trump’s son and an executive vice president of the company, abruptly canceled an interview with the attorney general’s office last month, and last week the Trump Organization told the office that the company and its lawyers would not comply with seven subpoenas related to the investigation.
The filings were made last week in State Supreme Court in Manhattan by the attorney general, Letitia James, and became public on Monday. They come as President Trump faces legal actions on other fronts. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has suggested in court filings that it is investigating possible bank and insurance fraud by the president and the Trump Organization.
The attorney general’s office started the civil inquiry in March 2019 after President Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, told Congress that the president had inflated his assets in financial statements to banks when he was seeking loans and had understated them to reduce his real estate taxes.

Заодно раскрылись некоторые детали компромата, на котором Майкл Коэн держал за задницу Джери Фолуэлла-младшего, до недавнего времени - одного из главных религиозных лидеров страны.

According to a separate source with knowledge of Trump’s campaign, Cohen was so confident in Falwell Jr.’s support that he and Trump assured others, even before Trump announced his candidacy, that Falwell Jr. would issue an endorsement.

Giancarlo Granda says he was 20 when he met Jerry and Becki Falwell while working as a pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in March 2012. Starting that month and continuing into 2018, Granda told Reuters that the relationship involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell looked on.
Granda showed Reuters emails, text messages and other evidence that he says demonstrate the sexual nature of his relationship with the couple, who have been married since 1987. “Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda said in an interview. Now 29, he described the liaisons as frequent - “multiple times per year” - and said the encounters took place at hotels in Miami and New York, and at the Falwells’ home in Virginia.
His friendship with the Falwells eventually soured, Granda told Reuters, in part because he wanted to dissolve his ties with the couple and fell into a business dispute with them.

Настоящим патриархом был его отец, Джери Фолуэлл-старший. Он умер в 2007, но успел принять участие в первом Values Voter Summit в 2006.

The moral majority from which modern evangelical political activists descend rose in response to the immorality of the 1960s and ’70s. Sensing that American norms and morals were quickly changing for the worse, Jerry Falwell Sr. and others rallied to push back against a culture embracing sex outside of marriage, pornography and licentiousness. So it is no small irony that Falwell’s son, Jerry Falwell Jr., helped rally many evangelicals to a man who embodies all the things Falwell Sr. stood against.

During a pre-meeting breakfast with pastors, Religious Right warhorse Jerry Falwell compared U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) to Satan. Playing the role of political prognosticator, Falwell assured his audience that the Republicans will keep control of the House and Senate this year, adding, “I think the Lord’s going to take care of that.”
Then Falwell moved on to 2008, remarking, “I certainly hope that Hillary is the [Democratic presidential] candidate. I hope she’s the candidate, because nothing will energize my [constituency] like Hil­lary Clinton. If Lucifer ran, he wouldn’t.”
Falwell obviously never intended his incendiary words to become public. But his remarks were turned over to the Los Angeles Times by Americans United and made a big splash in the national media. On this extremist note, the rest of the event was off and stumbling.

Пока не вышла его книжка, Майкл Коэн имеет сказать пару слов:

The people who know Donald Trump best are sounding the alarm: our country cannot survive four more years of a Trump presidency.

Фолуэлл присоединился к другим попутчикам:

"Издевательство над женой путем принуждения ее к групповому сексу с другим мужчинами объединяет Болтона со злосчастным Полом Манафортом"
https://puppet-djt.livejournal.com/141697.html

Прояснилась также другая история о компромате:

"Во время приезда Трампа в Москву в 1996 Джеованис обеспечивал ему, так сказать, культурную программу, которая могла стать частью компромата сексуального характера."

Из сенатского отчета:

Geovanis has claimed that, during Trump's travel to Russia, both in 1996 and 2013, Geovanis was aware of Trump engaging in personal relationships with Russian women. Geovanis has suggested that the Russian government was also likely aware of this information.

Речь идет о Маше Калининой, победительнице конкурса красоты 1988 года.

В июле 1988 Политбюро ЦК КПСС приняло постановление “О сооружении памятника жертвам беззаконий и репрессий”, а в Москве прошёл первый советский конкурс красоты «Московская красавица».
https://puppet-djt.livejournal.com/148704.html

The “Miss Moscow” who hung around with @realDonaldTrump in Moscow in 1996, as per the Senate report, is almost certainly Masha Kalinina. A pretty straightforward open source bit of sleuthing I did this morning follows in the thread below-> https://t.co/2CmrDZPqrU pic.twitter.com/vdGVooWhSC

- В Нью-Йорке живет мой друг - миллиардер Дональд Трамп. Он купил права на конкурс «Мисс Вселенная», - рассказывала Калинина. - У него есть какие-то чувства ко мне, но у нас не было романа. Я ему сразу сказала: «У меня есть бойфренд». Он возразил: «Брось его». «Тогда ты оставь свою жену», - сказала я. И мы остались друзьями.

Статья из мая 1998:

Режиссер Вильям Яновский усадил на диван перед камерой Машу Калинину - мисс Москва-88 и Элизабет Штркулову - мисс Мир-67.Через минуту сытый миллиардер уютно устроился между ними.
- Ничего, что я в таком виде?
Трамп был в белой тенниске, белых кроссовках и бежевых брюках. Рыжеватые волосы, непроницаемое лицо, жесткие голубые глаза.
- Очень рад снова встретиться с Машей. Когда два года назад я приезжал в Москву, она была самой красивой хозяйкой вашей столицы. А в отеле "Балчуг", где я остановился, в то же время жили Тина Тернер и Клаудиа Шиффер. Так что компания подобралась отличная. <...>
- Хотите возвести Башню Трампа и в Москве?
- Сейчас как раз веду об этом переговоры. И кстати, к следующей поездке в Россию хочу немного освоить русский язык. Надеюсь, Маша мне поможет.
- Дональд, - вступила в разговор мисс Мир-67, звезда чешского телеэкрана Элизабет Штркулова. - Вы еще молодой, привлекательный мужчина. Не пора ли вновь остепениться?
- У нее акцент, как у моей бывшей жены. Элизабет, ты звучишь, как Ивана Трамп. И это хорошо, потому что она - очень приятная женщина. Но в моей жизни сейчас никого нет. Хотя, в принципе, я очень семейный человек.
- Сколько у вас детей?
- У меня две дочери и два сына. Сыновьям четырнадцать и семнадцать, они ходят в школу. А маленькой Тиффани четыре года.
- Что главное в вашей жизни?
- Прежде всего работа. Даже играть в гольф я иду для того, чтобы встретиться там с партнерами по бизнесу и обсудить дела.

Среди тех, кто ездил с Трампом в Москву в 1996, в отчете упоминается Леон Блэк (на картинке рядом с Трампом и Джеованисом).

Those individuals likely included Bennett LeBow, Leon Black, Howard Lorber, Ron Bernstein, Theodore Liebman, and Matthew Calamari. <...> Apart from Geovanis, Leon Black is, or has been, connected to several entities and individuals that appear elsewhere in this Report. Black served on the board of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) until 2014, and has previously met with Kirill Dmitriev. In 2011, Black reportedly met one-on-one with Vladimir Putin. "Putin gets SWF, PE backing for Russia fund," Reuters, September 16, 2011. Black also knows Oleg Deripaska, and has interacted with him in Russia and the United States prior to Deripaska being sanctioned by the United States in 2018. Black knows Allen Vine, whom Black described as "consigliere" to the Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov, who was sanctioned by the United States in 2018. Black told the Committee, "Steve Bannon and I have a common friend, and I went over to see my friend and Bannon was meeting him for breakfast. And so on two occasions I spent time talking to Steve Bannon." Black noted a personal, but not close, relationship with Jared Kushner and lvanka Trump, as well as a business transaction between Apollo and Kushner Companies that Black was not involved in, or aware of, until after the fact. <...> While at TPS Group in 2012, Geovanis was in contact wit LeBow regarding an "investment opportunity" that Geovanis hoped to propose to Leon Black. Using vague descriptors rather than names, Geovanis suggested that the investment would be a good way for Apollo to "ingratiate" itself likely with Putin, and that Putin would vouch for investing with TPS given his close relationship likely with Rotenberg.



Леон Блэк (инвестор с состоянием в $9 миллиардов и коллекционер живописи) примечателен связью не только с Трампом и Путиным, но и с Джефри Эпштейном. Слово "компромат" ему должно быть хорошо знакомо.

Officials in the U.S. Virgin Islands want the billionaire investor Leon Black, one of the most powerful men on Wall Street, to hand over information about his decades-long business ties to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The territory’s attorney general, Denise N. George, informed a local court on Thursday that she would issue civil subpoenas to Mr. Black, a founder of the private equity firm Apollo Global Management, and several entities connected to him, the chief clerk of the court said.
The subpoenas, copies of which were filed with the court, seek financial statements and tax returns for a number of entities, including Black Family Partners and Elysium Management, which oversee some of Mr. Black’s $9 billion fortune. Subpoenas will also go to Apollo and entities that help manage Mr. Black’s extensive art collection.
Mr. Black has said Mr. Epstein provided him with advice on tax strategy, estate planning and philanthropy, but has provided no details. <...>
Mr. Black knew Mr. Epstein for more than two decades. Mr. Epstein was one of the original trustees of the Debra and Leon Black Family Foundation, which Mr. Black established in 1997, and stayed on the board for a decade.
Some prominent business figures - including Leslie H. Wexner, the retail mogul behind Victoria’s Secret - cut ties with Mr. Epstein after his 2008 conviction in Florida on a charge of soliciting prostitution from a minor, but Mr. Black did not.
In 2015, a company tied to the Black foundation donated $10 million to one of Mr. Epstein’s charitable organizations. And at Mr. Epstein’s urging, Mr. Black gave an anonymous $5 million donation to the MIT Media Lab, according to a university report, and several million to professors at Harvard University.
