Trump Faces Probe Into Tax Fraud After NYT Exposes How He Helped Parents Scam Millions From Government


The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has opened an investigation into President Trump for fraud and tax evasion following a major exposé by the New York Times revealing that Trump inherited nearly half a billion dollars of his family’s wealth through tax dodges and outright fraud. New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio has also called for a city probe, and Democratic Senator Ron Wyden has urged the IRS to investigate the president. The Times’ 13,000-word investigative report found the late Fred and Mary Trump transferred more than $1 billion in wealth to their children, paying less than 5 percent of the $550 million in taxes they should have paid under inheritance tax rates. Donald Trump also helped his parents undervalue real estate holdings by hundreds of millions of dollars on IRS tax returns in order to reduce taxes. We speak with David Barstow, three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for The New York Times and the lead author on the new investigation, “Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father.” Barstow shares a byline with Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner.

NYT Exposé: “Self-Made Billionaire” Donald Trump Built Empire on Father’s Money, Tax Dodging & Fraud


President Donald Trump built his personal brand and presidential candidacy on the claim that he was a self-made billionaire whose only head start was a “small loan of a million dollars” from his father. But a New York Times exposé has revealed that Trump inherited much of his family’s wealth through tax dodging and outright fraud, receiving at least $413 million in inflation-adjusted dollars from his father’s real estate empire. We speak with David Barstow, three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for the New York Times and the lead author on the new investigation, “Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father.” Barstow shares a byline with Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner.

The New York Times: "Ein Pro-Obama-Kampfblatt" so McCain

WELT ONLINE: "Ein Pro-Obama-Kampfblatt" sei die New York Times: Mit diesem Vorwurf hat John McCain der linksliberalen Zeitung den Krieg erklärt. Anlass war ein Bericht, der McCains Wahlkampfmanager schwere Vorwürfe machte. Und die New York Times ist nicht das einzige Medium, dass McCains Team Parteilichkeit vorwirft.

Mit der Klage, die „New York Times“ sei „zu 150 Prozent ein Pro-Obama-Kampfblatt“ und betreibe keinen Journalismus mehr, hat John McCain der angesehensten Zeitung der US-Ostküste den Krieg erklären lassen. Steve Schmidt, der Chefstratege des republikanischen Präsidentschaftskandidaten, vollzog in einer Konferenzschaltung mit Reportern den Bruch mit der „Times“. Anlass war ein Bericht der Zeitung, der Rick Davis, Wahlkampfmanager McCains, vorhielt, als Lobbyist Millionen Dollar von den halbstaatlichen Kreditanstalten Fannie Mae und Freddie Mac kassiert zu haben, bevor sie von der US-Regierung vor der Pleite bewahrt wurden. McCain bläst zum Angriff auf die "New York Times" >>> Von Uwe Schmitt | 23. September 2008

THE NEW YORK TIMES:
McCain Camp Takes Issue With Times Coverage: The McCain campaign lashed out at The New York Times on Monday, accusing it of dropping its journalistic standards and being “150 percent in the tank” for Senator Barack Obama.

In a conference call with reporters, Steve Schmidt, Senator John McCain’s senior campaign adviser, was asked about an article in The Times on Monday reporting that Mr. McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, had been paid nearly $2 million by Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac to head a group devoted to defend the mortgage giants against the imposition of stricter regulations.

Asked about the article, Mr. Davis, who was on the call, said the group’s sole function was to promote home ownership. But Mr. Schmidt criticized The Times for its coverage.

“Whatever the New York Times once was, it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization,” Mr. Schmidt said. He added, “This is an organization that is completely, totally, 150 percent in the tank for the Democratic candidate, which is their prerogative to be.”

He added, “Everything that is read in The New York Times that attacks this campaign should be evaluated by the American people from that perspective.”
