S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has begun exploring a criminal case against the Trump Organization and some of its executives stemming from Michael Cohen’s hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, according to a report.
The case would revolve around how President Trump’s company accounted for reimbursing the disgraced lawyer for $130,000 he pay to Daniels in exchange for her silence in the lead-up to the 2016 Presidential Election, according to The New York Times.

The Trump Organization logged the money as a legal expense, according to the Times, but Cohen pleaded guilty on Tuesday to making the payment to Daniels in exchange for her silence.
Cohen pleaded guilty on Tuesday to eight counts of tax evasion and campaign finance violations, stemming from the payments.
The difference between this probe and federal investigations is that the President does not have the power to pardon state level convictions.
At the same time the New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood’s office has sought a criminal referral from the state tax department in order to investigate and potentially prosecute violations of state tax law related to Cohen's taxes, a source familiar with the matter said.
Underwood's office has filed a civil lawsuit against Trump and his three oldest children over the Trump Foundation.
Trump uses the money from the Trump Organization to pay law suits against his for profit businesses, to buy life sized oil paintings of himself, and to spent 10 grand on an autographed football. He spends money from the organization to unlawfully line his own pockets. Normally I would feel sorry for those he suckered to donate to the TO, but if they were stupid enough to send money to this con man, not one tear shall I shed.
I think you mean the Trump Foundation, his hypothetical "charity". There's already a separate investigation in NY about that and the state has already shut down the charity because of tax fraud..
The Trump Organization is the holding company for all of Trump's single-member LLCs.
