New York AG criminally investigating Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg
The investigation of Weisselberg's personal finances stems in part from documents shared by his former daughter-in-law.
May 21 - New York Attorney General Letitia James' office is criminally investigating the personal taxes of Allen Weisselberg, the longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, an official close to the investigation said.
The investigation of Weisselberg's personal finances stems in part from documents shared by Jennifer Weisselberg, his former daughter-in-law.
Alan Garten, the Trump Organization's general counsel, did not respond to a request for comment. Mary Mulligan, an attorney for Allen Weisselberg, said she had "no comment" when asked about the criminal investigation. Jennifer Weisselberg's attorney, Duncan Levin, acknowledged that she was cooperating with the attorney general's office in a statement Thursday obtained by NBC News.
"Ms. Weisselberg has been in touch with prosecutors from the criminal division of the New York attorney general's office since at least March," Levin said. "She has provided information to them as part of their criminal investigation and will continue to cooperate in any way she can be helpful."
Levin has previously said Jennifer Weisselberg met with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance's office multiple times. Jennifer Weisselberg, who was subpoenaed for documents, has previously told NBC News that she has shared information with that team, which is investigating Allen Weisselberg's time with the Trump Organization and benefits given to his son Barry and his family.
Barry Weisselberg was also a longtime employee of the Trump Organization. There is no indication that he is under investigation, and neither he nor his father has been accused of wrongdoing. An attorney for Barry Weisselberg didn't respond to questions.
News of the criminal investigation of Allen Weisselberg was first reported by The New York Times.

Donald Trump Claims He’s Worth $2.4 Billion. What’s the Truth?
May 20 - Here's What You Need to Remember: Trump’s true net worth is likely only known to Trump himself, his accountants and financial advisers, and perhaps a prosecutor or two who has access to years of his tax returns.
It’s generally known that former President Donald Trump is wealthier than most people who have been elected president. He made his wealth, after all, a central tenet of his public identity, even before he entered politics.
But less is known about exactly how much net worth the former president actually has. Trump, famously, never released his tax returns, although bits and pieces of the returns have made their way into the press over the years. And prosecutors, including the Manhattan district attorney, have obtained the former president’s tax records, following a years-long battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
There exist various measurements of the net worth of well-known individuals, but such estimates are known to be just that, estimates.
Forbes currently lists Trump’s “real time net worth” at $2.4 billion, which would make him the only billionaire ever to be president.
“The bulk of his fortune remains tied up in New York City real estate,” Forbes said of Trump’s money. The magazine also listed Trump’s net worth at over $3 billion, as of the Forbes 400 in October of 2019, and said he was worth $3.7 billion in October of 2016, shortly before he was elected president.
The Bloomberg Billionaires Index, meanwhile, last listed Trump’s fortune at $2.3 billion, also stating that his net worth was over $3 billion at the time of his election. That represents a drop of about $700 million, in just over four years.
“His financial disclosures and loan documents, interviews with former executives and industry analysts, and a host of legal fights and investigations reveal just how much trouble Trump and his company could face,” Bloomberg said. “Covid has been hard on office buildings key to his wealth and hotels and resorts that bear his name. The fallout from the Capitol assault has hurt his relationships with brokers and lenders. At least $590 million in loans come due in the next four years, more than half personally guaranteed by Trump, and his scrapyard of failed enterprises has only gotten more crowded.”
CelebrityNetWorth.com, meanwhile, listed Trump’s fortune at $2 billion. The same site, by contrast, lists the net worth of Trump’s successor as president, Joseph Biden, at about $9 million. Following decades spent as an elected official, Biden made millions in the private sector, from speeches and book royalties, in the years between his tenures and vice president and president. Biden and his wife made $11 million in 2017 and $4.6 million in 2018, the site said, citing public tax documents.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is changed forever by this war
May 21 - ...Yet to many analysts and close observers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there may be no going back to the way things once were. The intensity of this latest round of violence took both the Israeli government and the Biden administration by surprise. It should not have.
The coals were stoked far from Gaza, by the provocations of Israeli police and emboldened Jewish far-right vigilantes marching through Jerusalem. Palestinian protests against planned evictions in the contested holy city and the clashes that ensued all came to a head when Israeli security forces decided to storm al-Aqsa Mosque. Hamas then saw an opportunity to don the mantle of the defender of the third-holiest site in Islam, as well as broader Palestinian claims to Jerusalem, and launched its attacks. The resulting war sprawled across the land between the river and the sea, with clashes in the West Bank as well as between Arab and Jewish Israelis in cities inside Israel’s 1967 borders.
The explosion of tensions exposed the internal dysfunctions among both the Israeli and Palestinian political camps. For the former, two years of ceaseless electioneering and the failure to form a stable ruling coalition either with or without Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu weakened governance and has brought far-right groups once considered too extremist into the political mainstream. For the latter, a crisis of legitimacy facing the beleaguered Palestinian Authority and its ageing President Mahmoud Abbas has only intensified. Hamas’s renewed militancy followed a decision by Abbas to scrap the first planned Palestinian elections after more than a decade and a half.
Israeli and US officials may tout the return of calm after a ceasefire, but experts fear the opposite. ...
...But, Munayyer added, the unrest and mass protests have confronted Israelis with a new reality: “Palestine is not ‘over there’ but is everywhere around them.” quoted from
