Tweet text:Mueller, She Wrote Podcast
@MuellerSheWrote
CONFIRMED: though not that we couldn’t tell from Kremlin Barbie’s pissy tweet that specifically mentioned “tax benefits” though no one asked her: @IvankaTrump HAS BEEN SUBPOENAED.

Trump Organization's consulting payments to Ivanka Trump are focus of NY tax probe
Investigation reportedly is looking at fees paid to Ivanka Trump, who said the inquiry amounts to "harassment."

It's such a weak defense and practically unfalsifiable. Courts of law like falsifiability when it comes to accusations.

she was paid nearly $800K for "consulting fees" while being employed by the company. In order for her to escape an indictment, she will have to provide all the documents that prove it. Gonna be hard to do, methinks. Otherwise, she'll be charged with tax fraud.

The Trumps will go from the top to the bottom. The worst thing for the crime family was him winning the Presidency. 4 years of power was fun, but in the end, they have so many enemies around the world, so much debt, and have committed so many crimes.

They are a huge target and have likely broken laws in multiple states and countries. This will be fun to watch as they no longer have Air Force 1, Secret Service, ability to stock their hotels with rich people looking for influence. The entire shit show is going to unravel over the coming years.

Sucks to be Baron, the kid is going to eventually have to change his name.

This was the best start to my weekend!
Wait till the idea that she is toast gets through her privileged, spoiled, selfish brain.
She will do all sorts of crazy, gossip worthy stuff!!! I can’t freaking wait.
Trump and his ilk have given me the capacity to genuinely not care about my fellow humans, at least in their cases. They all have no excuse for being so evil, period. People have died, kids have died becaue of them. Not one single one of them ever tried for one second to be honest and compassionate......ever!!!

PS: point of clarification: it’s been confirmed the Trump Org was subpoenaed for Ivanka’s consulting fees. A personal subpoena has not been confirmed.

11:32 AM · Nov 21, 2020

From the article:
New York's attorney general has sent a subpoena to the Trump Organization for records related to consulting fees paid to Ivanka Trump as part of a broad civil investigation into the president's business dealings, a law enforcement official said Thursday.

The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, reported that a similar subpoena was sent to President Donald Trump's company by the Manhattan district attorney, which is conducting a parallel criminal probe.
+++
The Times wrote that there was no indication Ivanka Trump is a target of either the state's or the city's investigation.
