Before #Republicans took control of the #Jouse in early 2023, #Mazars had begun producing documents in response to a congressional subpoena, turning over a subset of records to #Oversight Cmte #Democrats, led by Rep #JamieRaskin. But when Republicans assumed control the new Cmte chair, #JamesComer (R), ended the investigation into #Trump’s alleged violations of the #emoluments clause, declining to enforce a #CourtOrdered agreement that Mazars produce evidence related to Trump’s business dealings

The report is based on records obtained from #Trump’s fmr accounting firm, #Mazars USA, along w/corresponding special waivers authorizing the #SecretService to make payments above normal govt rates.
When EricTrump visited the hotel on Feb 22, 2018, 2 of the rooms the Secret Service rented were charged at $895 each, 450% more than the govt rate. The same evening, >100 rooms at the 263-room hotel were rented out at rates lower than $895, “including at least one room rented out for just $150.”

Re #DonaldTrumpJr, Robert pointed to his testimony about his process for certifying the statements of financial condition. Jr didn't recall specifics, but testified that he would have sat w/the finance team at the #TrumpOrganization, or #Mazars accountants, & asked them questions.
Jr said if those individuals, w/their expertise, convinced him that everything was fine, he would have signed the certifications of #Trump's statements of financial condition.
(See above about what actually occurred)

(The trust was set up to hold #Trump’s business assets during his presidency to avoid conflicts of interest.)
#NYAG questions #DonaldTrumpJr about other certifications re #Trump’s #SFCs they sent to #lenders over several years.
There are more letters to #banks from #Mazars. Each letter, every time says that the #trustees (Jr & #AllenWeisselberg) of the #DonaldJTrumpRevocableTrust are responsible for the Trump's SFCs (oops).

#NYAG asks #DonaldTrumpJr more about his certification of Trump’s #SFCs for other yrs, & he answers he doesn't recall details, but he that he would have followed the same process in those yrs.
#NYAG shows another 2017 letter sent to #DeutscheBank from #Mazars, the #TrumpOrganization's fmr accounting firm.
It says BASED ON discussions Mazars had w/ the #trustees (Jr & #AllenWeisselberg) of the #DonaldJTrumpRevocableTrust, #Trump’s #SFCs are correct.

#Civil #fraud #TrumpTrial Nov 2, 2023
Again, #DonaldTrumpJr is testifying & questioning is by #NYAG lawyer Faherty.
NYAG asks Jr about his role, in inflating #Trump's wealth.
Jr testifies that he relied on accountants, at #Mazars specifically, & fmr #TrumpOrganization CFO #AllenWeisselberg, for info.
NYAG shows a 2017 letter *authenticating* Trump's #NetWorth, signed by Jr (oops), which accompanied Trump's statements of financial condition (#SFC) that was sent to a #bank re a #loan.

#Weisselberg is shown this clause from his agreement w/ #Mazars.
"We have not knowingly withheld from you any financial records or related data that in our judgment would be relevant to your compilation”Throughout the case, #Trump & his co-defendants have argued the #appraisals not listed on #financial statements weren't material.
Solomon notes that the clause above doesn't have the word "material."
Weisselberg agrees.

Solomon shows #Weisselberg an agreement he signed w/ #Mazars, showing his obligations sharing data w/ the #accounting firm:
"The Statement referred to above is fairly presented in conformity w/ accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America."
Asked if he was obligated to provide Mazars w/contradictory info about #valuations, Weisselberg starts launching into a monologue.
Solomon interrupts, noting it was a yes or no question.
Then, Weisselberg says "yes."

#McConney testified that he & then-CFO #AllenWeisselberg reviewed the final version of the #financial compilations & that once #Weisselberg signed off, he would notify their #accounting company, #Mazars.
But he acknowledged that, through his own handwritten notation, he amended Mazars’ issuance letters to indicate #TRUMP HIMSELF was entitled to a FINAL REVIEW of the compilation of statements of financial condition.

#McConney testified that he retired earlier this yr & was given a severance of $500k, $125k of which he’s still owed but isn’t contingent on anything other than his “being alive.”
He blamed #Bender's #accounting firm for the #financial statements the AG says were grossly inflated.
“We, being the #TrumpOrganization, did not prepare the statements. #Mazars, as our #accountant, did,” he said.
McConney was the 1st witness for the Manhattan DA in the #criminal #trial against the #TrumpOrg last yr.

#Suarez also tried to insinuate that #Mazars tried to make #Bender the fall guy by sending him in to meet w/the DA w/only the counsel for Mazars. (Counsel for the company would owe duties to the co alone & is supposed to warn employees or fmr employees that in the event of a conflict, their duties are to the co.)
Bender was called by the defense in the #TrumpOrganization #tax #fraud #trial last year & spent 3 days on the stand as their lawyers suggested he failed to alert #Trump to the scam.

#Bender, who testified in DA #AlvinBragg's #criminal case against #TrumpOrg last yr, said he wasn’t threatened w/ #prosecution & #Mazars wasn’t either, to the best of his knowledge.
Suarez asked why #MarkPomerantz, a fmr prosecutor in the DA's case, said in his book that Mazars sent Bender in to meet w/them w/o his own counsel & told Mazars it was in a precarious legal position. Bender said he was “satisfied” w/his #legal representation & wasn’t aware of that convo between Pomerantz & Mazars.

#Trump’s attys declined to cross-examine #CameronHarris, but they reserved the right to call him back to the stand later.
Instead, they spent the last hour of court continuing their cross-examination of fmr #Mazars USA #accountant #DonaldBender.
After defense highlighted Bender's inconsistent statements about Mazars' use of specialists to evaluate assets, #Bender seemed to struggle to articulate how Mazars provided #accounting expertise.

The trial resumed w/o #Trump, the mood in the courtroom considerably lighter now that he is is gone.
#Engoron allowed an interruption to #Bender’s testimony to accommodate #CameronHarris, the partner at #WhitleyPenn who handled Trump’s #accounting work after #Mazars resigned in 2020.
#Harris is now discussing the role of #JeffMcConney, the #TrumpOrg comptroller, in their engagement to compile the statements of financial condition.

#Bender’s failure to complain about the #statements of #financial condition & #valuation methods doesn’t mean those valuations & statements they were presented were reasonable. It just shows that Bender@& #Mazars were sloppy, if not financially beholden to the #TrumpOrg.
Yes Mazars had access to data that banks & lenders didn’t, but the employees & execs of #Trump Org weren’t entirely honest w/them.
Bender & Mazars may have been equal parts victims of & accomplices to Trump’s alleged fraud.

#Suarez is now cross-examining #Bender about #accounting principles — deep accounting weediness that #Trump is nonetheless sitting through.
Trump's lawyers are trying to show — despite the #TrumpOrganization’s WRITTEN ASSERTION that it, not #Mazars, was responsible for the preparation of the #statements in #compliance w/standardized accounting practices — that Bender should have known & should have guided Trump better.

#Suarez took #Bender through a series of “engagement continuance forms” internal to his fmr #accounting firm #Mazars that listed #Bender as the partner in charge. The #judge seemed unimpressed, however, & suggested they move on.
#Trump appeared engaged w/his fmr #accountant's #testimony & complained at one point he couldn't hear what Bender was saying. Bender then started speaking more clearly & closer to the microphone.

#Day3 of Trump’s #fraud #trial has begun
#Trump atty #Suarez questions #Bender.
After Bender testified a correction on the size of Trump's triplex #apartment was the work of the #TrumpOrganization & not him, Suarez suggested that Bender was lying when he said a now-deceased #accountant was his “relationship partner” at #Mazars for all Trump work.
A relationship ptnr, is who might have originated the biz relationship & might handle bills, but isn’t necessarily the lead handling the work.

#Bender worked for #Mazars USA, the accounting firm that was at the center of a #SCOTUS #subpoena battle over #Trump’s #business & personal #tax returns which were obtained in 2021 by the #Manhattan DA for a separate #criminal investigation into the ex-president’s business operations.
While he was not technically in-house at the #TrumpOrganization, he did so much accounting work for the company & for its execs (including their personal tax returns) that he was in the #Trump Tower offices often. -

The first #witness they plan to call is Trump's fmr #accountant #DonaldBender of #Mazars USA, which last year severed its business relationship w/ #Trump after learning of the #NYAG's findings. During the #TrumpOrganization's 2022 #criminal #trial on charges of helping certain executives evade #taxes, Bender testified that Trump reported massive losses on his tax returns, including losing a combined $1 billion between 2009 & 2010.
