Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has indicated he does not currently plan to charge the Trump Organization with crimes related to allegations of "hush money" payments and real estate value manipulations, according to a personal lawyer for Donald Trump.
Ronald Fischetti, a New York attorney who represents the former president, said on Monday that in a meeting last week, he asked Vances team for details on charges they were considering.
According to Fischetti, members of Vances team said they were considering bringing charges against the Trump Organization and its individual employees related to alleged failures to pay taxes on corporate benefits and perks. It has been widely reported that those perks included cars and apartments and appear to only involve a small number of executives.
We asked, Is there anything else? Fischetti told POLITICO. They said, No.
Its crazy that thats all they had, he added.
When asked if the meeting touched on allegations made by Trumps former lawyer Michael Cohen and by adult film star and director Stormy Daniels, Fischetti replied, Nothing. Not a word on that.
Fischetti also said that Vances team told him they will not bring charges against Trump himself when the first indictment comes down.
They just said, When this indictment comes down, he wont be charged. Our investigation is ongoing, he said.

the maga mopes will screech about "witch hunts", and "moving the goal posts", etc.
Orange Hole's lawyer is a lying sack of shit.
