The Manhattan district attorneys office is considering pursuing criminal charges against the Trump Organization and two senior company officials in connection with Michael D. Cohens hush money payment to an adult film actress, according to two officials with knowledge of the matter.
A state investigation would center on how the company accounted for its reimbursement to Mr. Cohen for the $130,000 he paid to the actress, Stephanie Clifford, who has said she had an affair with President Trump, the officials said.
Both officials stressed that the offices review of the matter is in its earliest stages and prosecutors have not yet made a decision on whether to proceed.
State charges against the company or its executives could be significant because Mr. Trump has talked about pardoning some of his current or former aides who have faced federal charges. As president, he has no power to pardon people and corporate entities convicted of state crimes

I like the whole idea! Heres hoping whatever worst week ever we might be talking about, the FOLLOWING week is even worse!
I hope the whole sordid trump business goes DOWN. And takes all the trumps down with it. With a little asset forfeiture thrown in for good measure.
Busted, broke, and behind bars.
