"MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump’s letter in the New York Attorney General civil fraud case calling out his own financial monitor, the very distinguished retired federal judge Barbara Jones."

"Tucked into a footnote in a letter written by a former federal judge, Barbara Jones — the court-appointed special monitor overseeing Donald Trump's New York business-fraud case — is a bombshell that appears to indicate the former president may have engaged in massive tax evasion, The Daily Beast reported.

The letter, first reported by The Messenger, was delivered Friday to update Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron on Jones' findings while reviewing the former president's business dealings through the Trump Organization.

In it, Jones wrote the financial information filed to her by Trump's team contained "incomplete" or "inconsistent" disclosures containing multiple "errors." However, she described Trump and his businesses as "cooperative" with her investigation.

But buried in the sixth footnote of the 12-page letter is what The Daily Beast, citing legal experts, said was a clue that Trump evaded taxes on $48 million in income, with Jones writing that the massive sum — which Trump has claimed for years that he owes as a debt to one of his companies — seems to have never existed."

"Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at the financial monitor overseeing the Trump Organization and urged a judge to fire her days after she reported a range of issues — and flagged a questionable $48 million loan — in the former president’s New York civil business fraud case.

The independent monitor, Barbara Jones, “desperately seeks to justify the continued receipt of millions of dollars in fees going forward,” an attorney for Trump wrote in a letter to Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron.

The attorney, Clifford Robert, said Jones has collected more than $2.6 million in 14 months on the job. New York Attorney General Letitia James has asked Engoron to order that Jones continue to monitor the Trump Organization for at least five years as part of his judgment in the case.

But Robert wrote that Jones’ findings “simply do not support or provide any evidentiary basis for continued oversight.”

Robert made that argument three days after Jones submitted a report to Engoron accusing the Trump Organization of providing incomplete, inconsistent or incorrect information about its financial disclosures.

In a footnote in that report, Jones said she identified a loan between Trump himself and an entity related to Trump Chicago Tower that later turned out not to exist. She was told that the loan was believed to total $48 million, but that there are no agreements memorializing it."

You can see why New York Attorney General Letitia James wants such a huge penalty against Donald Trump. (Other than the fact that she hates him politically) NYAG is asking for 200 million-dollar judgement against Donald Trump. 

But, if this new reporting is true and Barbara Jones is right, she alone found 50 million-dollars of taxable income in the Trump Organization, they apparently tried to hide, to avoid paying taxes on. This coming after the Judge Arthur Engoron has already found Donald Trump guilty of business fraud in New York City.
