Donald Trump’s biographer Timothy L O’Brien on Tuesday compared him to the notorious American gangster Al Capone, as prosecutors were closing in on
the Trump Organisation’s longtime chief financial officer for details
about the former president’s financial dealings.

"Al Capone ultimately went down because they got his accountant... and the accountant is the one who showed federal investigators how Capone’s organisations were cooking his books,” Mr O’Brien, author of TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald, told MSNBC News.

The comments come as news reports said state prosecutors in New York, who
are investigating Mr Trump’s financial dealings, are sharpening their
focus on Allen Weisselberg and his family’s involvement in the Trump Organisation.

“This [Allen Weisselberg] is about the most vulnerable person you could
put in the crosshairs around Donald Trump,” said Mr O’Brien, saying for example that prosecutors could find out why some Trump properties were allegedly valued one way for tax collectors and another way for insurers
and banks.

The Trump biographer explained that Mr Weisselberg, 73, is the same age as
Mr Trump and he was also the accountant of Fred Trump, the former
president’s father.

“He came into the Trump organisation in the seventies… He graduated to becoming Donald’s CFO. There was no deal that went through the Trump organisation of significance that Allen Weisselberg didn’t look at. There
was no financing arrangement he didn’t give his blessing to,” Mr O’Brien said.

Investigations into the former president’s financial dealings started in
2018 when authorities started looking into hush-money payments to two
women who claimed they had had affairs with Mr Trump. The former president
has denied having relationships with the women.

But the scope of the investigations has expanded since. Mr O’Brien
explained that what is happening now is the “classic prosecutorial strategy” where the authorities are doing more than merely looking at Mr Weisselberg – and said he might “flip” as a result.

“And if Allen Weisselberg flips you are going to see a number of dominos
very quickly tip over inside the Trump organisation … and it is going to present a lot of legal peril to Donald Trump around issues like tax fraud, accounting fraud and falsification of business records and some of these
other issues that we know the Manhattan attorney is looking at,” he said.

Last week, prosecutors in New York got a major boost when the Supreme
Court refused to prevent them from obtaining tax records the former
president has fought for years to keep secret.

haha... so am i good or am i good?? :)))

capone was sooo shrew ya see (an out & out gangster) that they couldn't
get him any other way!

he needed to BE got though so they simply FOUND another way! non payment
of taxes hah! :)

old trumpty-dumpty might thus have to make full restitution (which i bet
ain't small!) and could even go to jail depending on exactly 'how' he did
all his diddlings?

i mean, really he should've gone to the wall for an attempted coup on the
newly forming US government! and for ordering pense to do something
illegal on pain of being hung-out to day/hanged!

but they couldn't get him on that... so they's gonna ruin him and put him
outta action another way instead... they set the dogs on him lol :)))
