$900,000, almost 1 million bucks in federal, state, city taxes that he got to keep that he should have been paying. the trump org and allen weisselberg pleaded not guilty and are expected back in court in september. as to what happens next in a criminal investigation, what this means for donald trump himself, i m joined by rebecca royfi who s now a professor at new york law school. rebecca, first just your first line reaction after reading the indictment today. this is an incredibly powerful indictment. it s detailed in such a way as it seems like it will be not too difficult to prove and, you know, i think, first of all, this really takes some of the wind out of the sails of that defense, if you can call it a defense, that this is a politically motivated prosecution. this is the bread and butter of the da s office. a case like this is what they
implemented the scheme. everyone wanted to know who is unindicted co-con spiritor number one. i don t have any idea on that. that s not the only other person mentioned there. there are a bunch of other people mentioned. this is not just one person. these are not just random and small fringe benefits. this is a lot of money as you mentioned before. it s over a long period of time and there are a number of people who are benefitting from it. the question is, you know, why? who? how much? how is this organized? this is the kind of situation where, you know, i do think this was brought to try to put pressure on not just weisselberg but these other officials to cooperate because it s hard to get the person at the top if you can t get somebody to help you out. rebecca, thank you so much for joining me. appreciate it. coming up, amazing undercover video. how they worked to undermine climate legislation with the help of 11 crucial senators.
