22. Still, it looks like charges related to failure to pay taxes are forthcoming

According to Fischetti, members of Vance’s team said they were considering bringing charges against the Trump Organization and its individual employees related to alleged failures to pay taxes on corporate benefits and perks. It has been widely reported that those perks included cars and apartments and appear to only involve a small number of executives.

“We asked, ‘Is there anything else?’” Fischetti told POLITICO. “They said, ‘No.’”

Despite the previous doom and gloom comments, I read this as we can expect charges relating to tax fraud/failure to pay taxes.
