Former Trump "fixer" and personal attorney Michael Cohen says that he provided the documents showing fraud by the Trump Organization to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, documents that the State Attorney General Letitia James is seeking under a subpoena that the Malignant Loser ignored. In a Meidas Touch video, he also said that those documents were provided to the House Oversight Committee in 2019 when he first testified against his former boss:
"'All documents and communication concerning any evaluation of any asset whose value is identified or incorporated into any of the statement of financial conditions,' he explained. Those documents exist, Cohen said, because the investigators have already spoken to those who've seen the appraisals for the Trumps."
Cohen said he gave the documents to Manhattan prosecutors Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne, who resigned over the failure of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to indict the Malignant Loser. According to Cohen, some of those documents were provided to Forbes Magazine by the Malignant Loser to falsely claim his wealth put him among the top 400 in the country.
However, the revelation that the documents exist with the Manhattan District Attorney is most disturbing, after we've heard assurances that the Manhattan DA's office was coordinating closely with the investigation by Letitia James' office into Trump's business dealings. This could very well be a case where James' subpoena covers more ground that what was contained in the Cohen tranche, but it's worrisome that this issue has come up this far into the investigations by both offices, especially given DA Bragg's footdragging.
