WNU Editor: Are you kidding me?!?!?!? After three years of investigations this is the best that they can come up with? The CFO not declaring his cash bonus and some of his perks on his income tax?!?!?!?
Too bad for CFO Allen Weisselberg who is now probably going to be forced to pay a steep financial penalty.
But in regards to former President Trump. If they had something on the former President it would have been leaked days ago followed with headlines and wall to wall coverage from all the major networks.
Bottom line. Like the Mueller investigation and report. They have nothing.
