It is definitely not a great week if your name is Donald John Trump Jr.
The Daily Beast reports that the ongoing probe by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office into the Trump Organization has shifted focus to the ex-president’s 43-year-old son and Allen Weisselberg, the company’s chief financial officer.
According to reporters Asawin Suebsaeng and Lachlan Cartwright:
This latest round of interest in Trump Jr. and Weisselberg’s activities, as well as other new developments, underscore the resources and the gravity that New York prosecutors are devoting to the investigation, just as Trump continues to publicly decry the probe as another example of Democrats picking on him.
Though the details of what exactly investigators are interested in learning about Don Jr. and Weisselberg remain unclear, one thing is for certain: the investigation isn’t going away anytime soon.
How about we take this to the next level?

This is just the latest development in the Manhattan D.A.’s criminal inquiry into Trump’s family business. The office has been looking into possible tax and insurance fraud, falsification of business documents, and hush-money payments for roughly two years.
Earlier this week, the U.S. Supreme Court dealt another blow to Trump’s shady enterprise when it ruled investigators could have access the twice-impeached, one-term president’s coveted tax returns and other financial records he’s long been guarding.

The Manhattan D.A.’s Office hasn’t commented on Don Jr. being roped into his father’s criminal probe, although District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. did tweet on Monday, “The work continues.”
The work continues.

As for Junior, he posted an insane four minute-long Rumble video the other day freaking out over what he called “the people’s republic of New York.”
“The BS never ends,” he ranted. “The political persecution of my father continues on, because a grossly partisan district attorney in New York finally got the Supreme Court to agree with their witch hunt!”

Hahaha! These white, privileged assholes want people to believe they are unfairly being targeted. That’s a laugh! It has nothing at all to do with the money-laundering, criminal trump empire. Nothing whatsoever!

Yeah I was hoping he’d been abducted by those probing space aliens. And after that he’d complain to Hannity that they insisted on being called “undocumented space visitors.”

Cry me a river you poor bitch. I have been audited by the IRS for 7 consecutive years in a row because that’s what the IRS does when they find out you accountant is scum. So the IRS goes through the rolodex and bam everyone gets audited. It’s just the way of the system. This happens every day all over to the average person so suck it up you get no special treatment anymore because of you father Don the CON… stop crying about you and the family are as guilty as the day is long! You deserve the trash your with now as well. Pretty bad when Faux News fired her filthy ass!

Hey idiot junior, hopefully in the near future you’ll be sharing a cell with your idiot father. We all know you’re a coke head and cracj head. Stop with the witch hunt crappies and face the music, you’re a thief and a liar just like your old man, oh and let’s not forget you’re a complete embarrassment to the untied states of America. You and the spawn rat you have for little brother.

I got probed once, and yes, I lost my mind.
