Outgoing President Donald Trump and his business is being investigated for tax crimes in the state of New York, and now Ivanka Trump is whining because she’s ensnared in the probe.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has been investigating the Trump Organization for some time now, which is scaring the hell out of Donald because he can’t use his pardon power to evade state crimes. And neither can his family.
As it turns out, Trump paid Ivanka “consulting fees” that he then wrote off on his taxes, an amount that comes out to over $700,000. You may recall that Trump’s tax returns acquired by the New York Times reveal that he has not paid much in taxes over a ten-year period, only paying a mere $750 one year alone. Clearly, Trump is a tax cheat, and writing off payments to his own daughter is just one of several ways Trump apparently thought he could screw over the government and not pay his fair share like everyone else.
Now that Ivanka is under legal scrutiny as well, she took a page from her father and whined on Twitter about it.
This is harassment pure and simple. This ‘inquiry’ by NYC democrats is 100% motivated by politics, publicity and rage. They know very well that there’s nothing here and that there was no tax benefit whatsoever. These politicians are simply ruthless.https://t.co/4dQoDzQlRX

This fishing expedition is very clearly part of a continued political vendetta ⤵️https://t.co/Gw0IKOWdeQ

Twitter users, including attorney George Conway, were not amused.
So please tell us what consulting you did that was legitimately worth $747,622 to the family company you already worked for. If this is “harassment, pure and simple,” that should be pretty easy to explain. https://t.co/QMuEQiqn22

It’s not harassment when it shows the u accepted illegal fund to help daddy cheat tax.

No Ivanka, Your family has been scamming for decades and it’s finally catching up to you. Time to pay for all the real estate investors you’ve scammed, kids with cancer you’ve stolen from, fashion designers you’ve copied, families you’ve evicted during the pandemic — all of it!

Someone is sweating knowing they won’t have the WH to protect them anymore.
SAD!

The magnitude of your legal troubles is going to start dawning on you soon. You could have walked away with the Access Hollywood tapes. You didn’t have to move to Washington. You didn’t have to enable this nightmare that killed 250,000 dead Americans. You chose your path.

Ma’am, it is hard to lose immunity if you’ve broken the law many times!

It’s time for Ivanka Trump to be held criminally accountable for being complicit with her daddy’s crimes. Then she can whine about it in prison.
