NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump knew about Trump Organization executives’ tax-dodging schemes, a Manhattan prosecutor told a jury in a closing statement Thursday in the organization’s tax fraud trial.
“Donald Trump knew exactly what was going on with his top executives,” said Manhattan Assistant DA Joshua Steinglass when he addressed jurors.
Steinglass’ statement came near the end of the day’s court session. Later, after the jury left the courtroom for the evening, Trump Organization lawyer Alan Futerfas openly complained that Steinglass had invoked Trump himself in his closing argument.
