Trump's Legal Problems Might Outlast Robert Mueller's Investigation
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
After the end of business on Monday night, because the business of federal prosecutors in this particular political moment never really ends, the good folks in the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York dropped the big one. From the Washington Post :
A wide-ranging subpoena served on the inaugural committee Monday seeks an array of documents, including all information related to inaugural donors, vendors, contractors, bank accounts of the inaugural committee and any information related to foreign contributors to the committee, according to a copy reviewed by The Washington Post. Only U.S. citizens and legal residents can legally donate to a committee established to finance presidential inaugural festivities.
“We have just received a subpoena for documents. While we are still reviewing the subpoena, it is our intention to cooperate with the inquiry,” a spokesman for the committee said in a statement. The subpoena - issued by the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York - indicates that prosecutors are investigating crimes related to conspiracy to defraud the United States, mail fraud, false statements, wire fraud and money laundering.
Robert Mueller is handing off various deep dives into the bottomless lagoon of slime and corruption that is this administration* as well as conducting his own investigations. The folks in the Southern District there at the very least clearly believe that the inauguration of the 45th president of the United States to have been an elaborate mechanism for laundering all sorts of money from all sorts of people.
