A former federal prosecutor during the Watergate proceedings that brought down President Richard Nixon says new tax revelations about President Donald Trump could ultimately send him to prison.
No question about it, Nick Akerman said Monday on CNN. And his daughter could go to jail, too.
Both the president and his oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, who also serves as a White House adviser, are named in the New York Times report detailing the schemes that allowed Donald Trump to avoid taxes for much of the past decade and a half.
Tax evasion is a five-year felony, said Akerman, who was an assistant special Watergate prosecutor investigated Nixons taxes. Its a pretty serious crime, and the more money thats stolen, the longer you go to jail for.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing. However, he has also refused to publicly disclose his tax returns, as has been customary for presidential candidates for nearly half a century.
