Trump inauguration mega-donor sentenced to
12 years in prison for tax evasion:

On Thursday, NBC News reported that Imaad Zuberi, a California investor who donated $1 million to former President Donald Trump's inaugural committee, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.

According to the report, Zuberi was also required to pay a fine of $1.75 million and another $15.7 million in restitution.

"Zuberi, 50, agreed to plead guilty in 2019 to tax evasion, filing false foreign agent registration records and providing almost $1 million in illegal campaign contributions to various presidential election campaigns and other candidates for elected office, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California," reported Andrew Blankstein.

Federal prosecutors also charged Zuberi with obstruction of justice during the course of their investigation of the Trump inaugural fund in 2020.

The fund was the subject of intense scrutiny from federal prosecutors amid allegations that donors traded money for political favors.

Manhattan DA hires ace attorney as investigation of Donald Trump escalates:

In a ramp up of its criminal investigation of Donald Trump, the Manhattan district attorney's office has enlisted a prominent federal prosecutor to analyze
the financial dealings of Trump's businesses, the New York Times reports.

"The former prosecutor, Mark F. Pomerantz, has deep experience investigating and defending white-collar and organized crime cases, bolstering the team under District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. that is examining Mr. Trump and his family business, the Trump Organization," the Times report stated.

Vance is focusing on possible tax and bank-related fraud "including whether the Trump Organization misled its lenders or local tax authorities about the value of his properties to obtain loans and tax benefits," people close to the matter told the Times.

"In recent months, Mr. Vance's office has broadened the long-running investigation to include an array of financial transactions and Trump properties — including Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, various Trump hotels and the Seven Springs estate in Westchester County — as prosecutors await a ruling from the United States Supreme Court that could give them access to Mr. Trump's tax returns," the newspaper reported.

"The prosecutors have also interviewed a number of witnesses and have issued more than a dozen new subpoenas, including to one of Mr. Trump's top lenders, Ladder Capital, the people with knowledge of the matter said.
In addition, investigators subpoenaed a company hired by Mr. Trump's other main lender, Deutsche Bank, to assess the value of certain Trump properties, one of the people with knowledge of the previously unreported subpoenas said," the newspaper reported.

Ex-Gotti Jr. prosecutor joins Manhattan DA’s Trump probe.

A former fed who brought down one Teflon Don is coming for Trump.

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance recently hired
a mob-busting ex-prosecutor to help him investigate former President Donald Trump over a range of alleged financial fraud — and the new member of the team has already interviewed a key player in the high-profile probe, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mark Pomerantz, a veteran white-collar attorney who prosecuted former Gambino crime family boss John “Junior” Gotti and other mobsters in the 1990s, was tapped by Vance as a special assistant district attorney on Feb. 3, said Danny Frost, a spokesman for the DA.

Frost declined to comment on specifics about Pomerantz’s role, but a source close to Vance’s office said he was hired specifically for the Trump inquiry.

Another source told the Daily News that Pomerantz interviewed Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, on Thursday.

Vance is investigating Trump and his namesake business over tax, bank and insurance fraud stemming from the ex-president’s potentially illegal habit of inflating and deflating the value of his assets and properties.

Pomerantz’s hire signals Vance is continuing to expand the scope of his inquiry as he waits on a long-delayed ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether he can access eight years’ worth of Trump’s personal and business tax returns.

As part of the investigation, Vance has reportedly also contracted FTI, a major financial consulting company, to help him scrutinize Trump’s voluminous financial dealings. Deutsche Bank and Ladder Capital, two of Trump’s main lenders, have been subpoenaed in the probe.

Pomerantz, whose hire was first reported by the New York Times, served as chief of the criminal division of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office in the late 1990s.
In that role, he oversaw some of the most explosive federal prosecutions of the time,
including the successful racketeering case against Gotti, who was known as “Teflon Don, Jr.” for his history of getting away with alleged crimes, much like his late father.

These days, Pomerantz works as a white-collar and financial crime attorney for the high-powered Paul-Weiss law firm in Manhattan. He could not be reached for comment, but his page on Paul-Weiss’ website notes that he is “on leave.”

Though he was acquitted last week by the Senate of inciting deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Trump faces a myriad of legal jeopardy now that he’s a private citizen.

In addition to Vance’s investigation, a district attorney in Georgia has launched a criminal inquiry into whether Trump broke the law by pressuring a local top official to “find” him enough votes to overturn President Biden’s election victory in the state.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is also conducting a civil investigation into Trump’s alleged asset inflation and deflation. Parts of James’ probe appear to overlap with Vance’s.
