Filing by Trump's Federal Judge Sister Led to NYT Tax-Fraud Expos

Source: The Daily Beast

The next Trump family reunion might be a bit contentious. The New York Times has revealed that its bombshell story about Donald Trump engaging in “dubious” tax schemes and “outright” fraud to increase his inheritance from his parents’ wealth came about because a filing made by his federal judge sister. Journalist Susanne Craig said she found the disclosure form Maryanne Trump Barry filed as part of her Senate confirmation hearing. It showed a $1 million contribution from an obscure family-owned company: All County Building Supply & Maintenance. “‘What the heck?’” Craig remembered thinking, leading her to talk to people who detailed Fred Trump’s dubious method of moving cash from his companies to his children. The Times describes Maryanne Trump Barry’s filing as a “central finding” of the story.

They have a mandatory retirement age where they are still on the bench but have a reduced caseload and are "senior." It's kind of a way to keep circulating new judges with each presidency. They should do it with the SC, too, but no chance.

but most do if they are eligible -- reduced case load, often interesting cases (due to recusals from other judges) and the same salary.

The MAGA redneck bubbas with Conf flags in their truck windows applaud & shoot the idea of "stickin' it to the tax man." Most people here are probably too young to remember Li'l Abner...the evil character in that cartoon series/Broadway play was the evil "tax revenuer."

Unlike the many SheTrump filed during her years on the bench the one that hit the mark was not redacted. Probably an oversight. SheTrump is nasty as her sibling.

about the sister, how she fit into the picture, actually where the hell she was, because she's a non feature in this circus. Also, how did the brother die? What were those circumstances? Dump seems to be toxic to everyone, family included, and if he treated his dear daddy like this, what's the rest of the story?
