Donald Trump's constant stream of comments about the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation into his company will likely pose additional legal headaches, according to a former prosecutor.
At a rally Saturday, the former president railed against the 15-count indictment against his company and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg. He appeared to acknowledge the underlying facts prosecutors alleged: that Weisselberg cooked the books so that he could compensate himself with apartments, cars, and tuition for family members without paying taxes on those benefits.
"You didn't pay tax on the car or a company apartment. You used an apartment because you need an apartment because you have to travel too far where your house is," Trump said in a grammatically mangled speech. "You didn't pay tax. Or education for your grandchildren. I don't even know. Do you have to? Does anybody know the answer to that stuff?"
Randy Zelin, a former New York state prosecutor, told Insider that Trump's remarks could be admissible in court proceedings against the company or Trump himself.

That said, the FG's financials show he's insulated. So, bottom line he cares about no one so far. NO ONE. Family? We'll see.
