NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s company is under criminal investigation by a district attorney in a New York City suburb into whether it misled officials to cut taxes for a golf course there, according to The New York Times.

The district attorney’s office subpoenaed records from both the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester and the town of Ossining that handles the club’s taxes, said the Times, citing “people with knowledge of the matter.” The newspaper didn’t say why those people had requested anonymity.

The probe led by District Attorney Mimi E. Rocah, a Democrat, appears to focus in part on whether the former president’s company submitted misleading valuations on the golf course.

In a statement, the Trump Organization suggested the probe was politically motivated, noting that it had hammered out a compromise with the town over its long-running efforts to cut taxes in June, a deal signed off by a county judge.

“The suggestion that anything was inappropriate is completely false and incredibly irresponsible,” the Trump statement said. “The witch hunt continues.”

The district attorney’s office has not accused anyone at the company of wrongdoing and it was not immediately clear if the probe will ultimately lead to any charges. A spokesperson for the office, Jess Vecchiarelli, wouldn’t confirm the probe to The Associated Press, stating only, “We have no comment.”

The probe adds to several legal challenges facing the former president and his company. In July, the Manhattan district attorney indicted the company and its longtime financial chief with allegedly failing to pay taxes on employee perks, like cars and apartments. Both the company and the finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, have pleaded not guilty.

The New York state attorney general’s office, which joined in the Manhattan district attorney probe, has also launched its own investigation into Trump’s finances. That civil investigation is looking in part into whether the Trump Organization may have misled tax officials in valuations of another of the company’s Westchester County properties, its Seven Springs estate featuring a Georgian-style mansion set among 213-acres of bucolic countryside.

The Trump Organization has been fighting the town of Ossining for lower tax assessments for its Westchester golf course for years. The company once valued the golf club for tax purposes at about $1.4 million, later increasing its estimate to $6.5 million, while the town for years valued it at more than $15 million.

In June, a New York judge ruled on a compromise that would cut the assessment to $9.5 million for 2021. The compromise also cut assessments going back several years by about 30%, triggering refunds to the company of about $875,000 for overcharges on its back taxes

 
No different than the previous administration who put in positive references to Obamacare, altered policy reports to only show a positive picture of overrunning the country with illegal immigrants, and promoted abortion as a positive social benefit that taxpayers should cover.
So facts --- like why the Obama administration inserts their political agenda into policy and publications. This should be obvious.

As usual the next U.S. Presidential administration from the other party scrubs the political agenda in publications of the previous administration and inserts their own. This has been going on for over 200 years.

The situation with political appointees is the same under every administration. It was no different under Obama.
These jet flights are a minor issue that was actually known and bantered about for months after it was disclosed on her 2017 financial disclosure form. The actual issue is the value of the flights and amount of money that Haley should pay for them. This can easily be resolved by her paying additional money for the flights if the government demands it. This is not a big issue; nor is it anything that would cause her to resign.

The complaint from a left wing "ethics" group which only complains about right wing politicians is mere grand standing from the organization.
Ambassadorships to first world nations have typically been an a reward for fund raising or support. It has been this way for decades, and done by both parties. This is nothing new.
This is Bill Clinton's best buddy.
This issue is going to be decided by the Supreme Court. The liberal federal judge ruling means little; the case is already in front of the Supreme Court and will be decided shortly.

The citizenship question has been part of the Census for many years in the U.S. "The decennial census generally included a citizenship inquiry for more than 100 years through 1950". Up until 2000 the citizenship question was included on long form surveys which were sent to every one out of six households.
