Ex-Watergate Prosecutor Says SCOTUS Ruling Opens Door To Trump Being Indicted For Tax Fraud

https://www.politicususa.com/2020/07/09/supreme-court-ruling-opens-the-door-to-trump-being-indicted-for-tax-fraud.html


Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said on Thursday that the Supreme Court’s ruling on Donald Trump’s financial documents could be a ticking time bomb for the president.

During an interview with MSNBC’s Joy Reid, Akerman said Trump should be concerned that a tax or bank fraud indictment is on the horizon now that independent investigators will be able to dive into his tax returns.

“It’s just a matter of time before this evidence gets before the prosecutors, gets put before a grand jury,” he said. “What Donald Trump is looking at is the potential that he is going to be indicted for either tax fraud or bank fraud.”

Akerman said Trump could share the same fate as his former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who was sentenced to more than seven years in prison.

Way over on worth to bank, bank fraud.
Way under on value for taxes, tax fraud.
Not either or, both.
