Trump Organization Sentenced to Pay $1.61 Million for Tax Fraud

Trump Organization Sentenced , to Pay $1.61 Million for Tax Fraud.

NPR reports that on Jan.

13, the Manhattan criminal court ordered two of Trump's companies to pay the combined amount for tax fraud.

Payment is due within 14 days of sentencing.

This conviction was consequential, the first time ever for a criminal conviction of former President Trump's companies, Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney, via statement.

However, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg thinks the organization's fine, which is the most allowed per state sentencing guidelines, isn't enough.

Our laws in this state need to change in order to capture this type of decade-plus systemic and egregious fraud, Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney, via statement.

Trump Organization spokesperson Kimberly Benza said the company intends to appeal.

New York has become the crime and murder capital of the world, , Kimberly Benza, Trump Organization spokesperson, via statement.

... yet these politically motivated prosecutors will stop at nothing to get President Trump and continue the never ending witch-hunt which began the day he announced his presidency, Kimberly Benza, Trump Organization spokesperson, via statement.

The Trump Organization's longtime CFO, Allen Weisselberg, was sentenced to five months in prison earlier this week for his role in the tax fraud scheme.

Benza previously referred to Weisselberg as a "victim" of the ordeal.

Allen Weisselberg is a victim.

He was threatened, intimidated and terrorized.

, Kimberly Benza, Trump Organization spokesperson, via statement.

He was given a choice of pleading guilty and serving 90 days in prison or serving the rest of his life in jail — all of this over a corporate car and standard employee benefits, Kimberly Benza, Trump Organization spokesperson, via statement

Canada's BIG Blow To US: Carney RISES As Trump’s Tariffs ISOLATE U.S, Vows Stronger Trade Ties

Amid escalating trade hostilities from Trump’s high‑tariff agenda, Canada is forging a bold new path. Industry Minister MĂ©lanie Joly announced Ottawa’s plan to defend jobs and supply chains by intensifying economic diplomacy and forging trade ties beyond the U.S. “While the U.S. becomes weaker,” Joly declared, “we will become stronger.” With Washington threatening a sweeping 35% tariff starting August 1—and even mooting 50% levies on copper and 200% on pharmaceuticals—Canada is accelerating deals with the EU and diversifying its export strategy. Prime Minister Mark Carney called urgent cabinet and provincial meetings to map out the response and signal unity. Ottawa remains poised not just to withstand the U.S. onslaught but to come out fortified. As global unpredictability grows, Canada is betting big on economic resilience and a multipolar trade future. #canadatrade #trumptariffs #economicdiplomacy #tradewar #diversification #ottawastrength #usacceleration #eutrade #supplychain #globalmarkets #protectjobs #markcarney #melaniejoly #canadianexports #tariffthreat #northamerica #economicstrategy #canadagetsstronger #trumpeconomics #worldtrade

Al-Qaeda’s DEATH THREAT | Islamic Leader Calls for BEHEADING of Trump, Musk & Rubio | Full Video

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states. He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken. Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines." #TerrorThreat #AlAwlakiSpeech #JihadPropaganda #USNationalSecurity #IslamistExtremism #CounterTerrorism #RadicalIslam #HomegrownTerror #TerrorRecruitment #AssassinationPlot #ExtremistViolence #AntiSemitismAlert #TargetedViolence #USMilitaryThreat #TrumpSecurity #JewishCommunityAlert #MideastTensions #CyberTerrorismWatch #GlobalSecurityThreat #ManhattanThreatAlert ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~

Trump Loyalist Russel Vought Takes Over DOGE, Vought To Lead Mass Layoffs With ‘Slash & Burn’ Agenda

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash. #ElonMusk #RussellVought #DOGE #Trump #GovernmentEfficiency #Project2025 #ScheduleF #FederalCuts #ChristianNationalism #Tesla #SpaceX #MuskExit #VoughtAgenda #BudgetCuts #NPR #USAID #CFPB #MilitarySpending #GOP #PoliticalNews #WashingtonWatch #BureaucracyReform #TrumpAdmin #GovernmentOverhaul #WhiteHousePolicy #SpendingCuts #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #ConservativeAgenda #MuskVsVought Also Read Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Criticises Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', A Fracture In Key Relationship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-criticises-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-a-fracture-in-key-relationship-4166667.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.124~
