The Trump Organization

The Trump Organization is an American privately-owned conglomerate owned by Donald Trump. It serves as the holding company for all of Trump's business ventures and investments.[5] Around 250 of these entities use the Trump name.[6][7] Donald Trump joined the organization in 1968, began leading it in 1971, renamed it around 1973, and handed off its leadership to his children in 2017 when he won the 2016 United States presidential election. In 2022, the organization was convicted of tax fraud felonies.[8] In a civil lawsuit in 2023, a New York judge ruled that the organization had fraudulently overvalued its properties when applying for bank loans.[9]

The Trump Organization, through its various constituent companies and partnerships, has or has had interests in real estate development, investing, brokerage, sales and marketing, and property management. Trump Organization entities own, operate, invest in, and develop residential real estate, hotels, resorts, residential towers, and golf courses in various countries.[6][7][10] They also operate or have operated in construction, hospitality, casinos, entertainment, book and magazine publishing, broadcast media, model management, retail, financial services, food and beverages, business education, online travel, commercial and private aviation, and beauty pageants.[11][12] Trump Organization entities also own the New York television production company that produced the reality television franchise The Apprentice.[13] Retail operations include or have included fashion apparel, jewelry and accessories, books, home furnishings, lighting products, bath textiles and accessories, bedding, home fragrance products, small leather goods, vodka, wine, barware, steaks, chocolate bars, and bottled spring water.[14]

Since the financial statements of the Trump Organization's holdings and Donald Trump's personal tax returns are both private, its true value is not publicly known, though a wide range of estimates have been made. Trump has publicly released little definitive financial documentation to confirm his valuation claims.[15][16] On several occasions, Trump has been accused of deliberately inflating the valuation of Trump Organization properties through aggressive lobbying of the media (in particular the authors of the annual Forbes 400 list) to bolster his perceived net worth.[17]

By 2019, the Trump Organization was being scrutinized by New York investigators for possible financial fraud. In July 2021, New York prosecutors charged the organization with 10 counts in an alleged 15-year tax avoidance scheme. In November, The Washington Post reported that between 2011 and 2015 the organization presented several properties as being worth far more to potential lenders than to tax officials. In August 2022, the organization's chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, pleaded guilty to committing more than a dozen felonies, including criminal tax fraud and grand larceny.[18] In September 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a civil lawsuit against the organization. A separate criminal case by the Manhattan district attorney was brought to trial in October; on December 6, the organization was convicted on 17 criminal charges.[8][19]

In September 2023, the judge presiding over the civil suit ruled that Trump, his adult sons and the organization repeatedly committed fraud and ordered their New York business certificates canceled and their business entities sent into receivership for dissolution in what has been described by observers as a 'corporate death penalty'.[9][20][21]

History

Background

Donald Trump's grandparents Frederick Trump and Elizabeth Christ Trump were a German immigrant couple who moved to the borough of Queens in 1906. Frederick began developing real estate there. He died during the "Spanish flu" pandemic in 1918, leaving an estate valued at $31,359[22] (or about $535,381 in 2020). Elizabeth carried on in the real estate business after her husband's death. She had contractors build houses on the empty lots Frederick had owned, sold the houses, and earned income off the mortgages she provided to buyers.[23]

Her middle child, Donald Trump's father Fred Trump, entered the carpentry trade after graduating high school in 1923.[24] Fred would later say he completed his first single-family home in 1924,[25][26] but other sources date his start as a builder to 1927.[27] In that year, Fred reached the age of majority, and "E. Trump & Son," a name Elizabeth had used in ads since 1921, was formally incorporated.[28][a]

In 1929, with Fred at the helm, the company began developing pricier houses in nearby Jamaica Estates.[35][36] In the deepening depression, the company went out of business.[37] In 1933 Fred opened a supermarket, called "Trump Market," then quickly sold it and returned to the real estate business. Around this same time, Fred Trump and a partner acquired the mortgage-servicing subsidiary of Brooklyn's J. Lehrenkrauss & Co., which had gone bankrupt and subsequently been broken up amid charges of fraud. This gave Trump access to the titles of many properties nearing foreclosure, which he bought at low cost and sold for a profit. He quickly became known as one of New York City's most successful young businessmen.[38][39] In 1935, the company moved to Brooklyn,[39] where, in addition to Queens, Trump was a prolific builder of single-family homes.[40]

During World War II, Trump constructed apartments and temporary housing for military personnel in Virginia and Pennsylvania.[40] In 1944, he shifted his focus back to Brooklyn and began planning to develop large apartment buildings.[41] He opened the 1,344-unit Shore Haven complex in 1949,[42] followed by Beach Haven in 1950[43] and Trump Village in 1964.[44]

Leadership under Donald Trump


Donald Trump worked for his father's business while attending the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1968 officially joined the company.[29] In the early 1970s, Fred became chairman of the board while Donald was made president of the company.[45] Around 1973, he began referring to the business as the Trump Organization.[b] The business had previously been referred to on occasion as the Fred C. Trump Organization,[48][49] the Fred Trump Organization,[50][51] or the Trump Organization,[52] but had not had a single formal name.

Civil rights suit

In 1973, the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Civil Rights Division filed a civil rights suit against the Trump Organization charging them for violating the 1968 Fair Housing Act by refusing to rent to Black people. The National Urban League had sent Black and White testers to apply for apartments in Trump-owned complexes. The White testers got the apartments, whereas the Black testers did not. According to court records, four superintendents or rental agents reported that applications sent to the central office for acceptance or rejection were coded by race.[53]

A 1979 Village Voice article quoted a rental agent who said Fred Trump had instructed him not to rent to Black people and to encourage existing Black tenants to leave. In 1975, a consent decree described by the head of DOJ's housing division as "one of the most far-reaching ever negotiated" required Trump to advertise vacancies in minority papers and list vacancies with the Urban League. The Justice Department subsequently stated that continuing "racially discriminatory conduct by Trump agents has occurred with such frequency that it has created a substantial impediment to the full enjoyment of equal opportunity."[54]

Manhattan developments and more

Donald Trump focused his efforts on major development projects in Manhattan, including the renovation of the Commodore Hotel, in partnership with Hyatt, as the Grand Hyatt New York (opened in 1980);[55] the construction of Trump Tower in partnership with The Equitable (1983);[56] and the development of Trump Plaza (1984).[57] He also opened three casino hotels in Atlantic City, New Jersey: Trump Plaza (1984),[58] Trump Castle (1985),[59] and Trump Taj Mahal (1990).[60]

In 1989, New York State officials ordered the Grand Hyatt New York, a hotel owned at the time by the Trump Organization and the Hyatt Corporation, to pay New York City $2.9 million in rent that had been withheld by the hotel in 1986 due to "unusual" accounting changes approved by Donald Trump.[61] An investigation by New York City auditors noted that the hotel was missing basic financial records and found the hotel was using procedures that violated generally accepted accounting principles.

Amid a real estate slump in 1990, the Trump Organization approached a financial crisis and was believed to be on the brink of collapse, with Donald Trump and his companies owing 72 banks a total of $4 billion, of which Trump personally guaranteed $800 million.[62] Trump hired Stephen Bollenbach as the company's first chief financial officer, while Allen Weisselberg continued to serve under him as controller.[63][64] Trump spent the following years renegotiating his debts, and gave up some properties, including the Trump Shuttle airline and a stake in the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.[65] Bollenbach left the company in 1992.[66] In 1995, Trump took another major step towards financial stability, launching a publicly traded company for the Trump casinos, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts.[65][67] By 1996, Trump was widely considered to be making a comeback.[65][68] The casino company did not fare as well, however, and Trump eventually lost his stake in the company to bankruptcy.[69][70]

In 1997, Fred Trump transferred ownership of the bulk of his portfolio of apartment buildings to his four surviving children (Donald, Robert, Maryanne, and Elizabeth), submitting tax returns claiming the properties were worth $41.4 million.[71] Fred died in 1999.[43] In 2004, the four siblings sold the apartments for $737.9 million to a group led by Rubie Schron,[71] marking the family's exit from ownership of their father's business.[72][73][74]

Financing

During the property boom of the 1980s, Trump acquired numerous properties and by 1990 owed $4 billion to 72 banks.[62] When the market entered a slump in 1990 that placed the organization at risk of collapse, Trump and his lenders acted to restructure his debts, although they disagree on who identified the problem and initiated negotiations. The resulting restructuring required his banks to forgive some of Trump's debt.[62] Trump's casinos later entered bankruptcies in which his bondholders took deep losses. After these incidents, Trump had difficulty borrowing new money from most mainstream financial institutions.[75]

Deutsche Bank, which did not have a significant presence on Wall Street during the 1980s, expanded rapidly in the U.S. during the 1990s. Trump obtained a loan of approximately $425 million from them in 1998.[75] In the process of its rapid expansion, the bank engaged in numerous questionable practices, including manipulating currencies and interest rates, laundering billions of dollars for Russian oligarchs and misleading international bank regulators.[75] The bank was fined $630 million in 2017 for facilitating a $10 billion Russian money laundering scheme.[76] The bank provided Trump with a variety of services including financial instruments designed to shield him from risks and outside scrutiny, and helped connect Trump to wealthy clients (including some from Russia) who were interested in Western real estate.[75] During the 2000s and 2010s, Trump borrowed $2 billion from the bank, owing it about $360 million in 2016.[75][77]

From 2000 on, the Trump Organization held 50% of TD Trump Deutschland AG, a corporate venture with a German company, planning to build a skyscraper named "Trump Tower Europe" in Frankfurt, Berlin or Stuttgart, but allegedly never paid the full amount of their 2 million share.[78] At least three lawsuits followed and the company was disestablished in 2005.[79]

By mid-2016, it was alleged that the organization, specifically under the leadership of Donald Trump, had a history of not paying for services rendered. Several hundred contractors or workers for the organization have filed lawsuits or liens saying they were not paid for their work, and others say they had to settle for cents on the dollar.[80]

Trump's eldest son, Donald Jr., was quoted as saying at a 2008 New York real estate conference, "In terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets ... We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia."[81] James Dodson, a golf magazine writer, said that during a 2014 golf game, he asked Trump's son Eric how the organization was funding its golf resort acquisitions, to which Trump responded, "Well, we don't rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia." Eric Trump later denied making the statement,[82] although some of the company's financing apparently involves Russian money.[83][84] The organization has many projects in foreign nations, leading some to point to a conflict of interest with foreign nations should Donald Trump become the president of the United States.[77]

Valuation disputes

The financial statements of the Trump Organization's holdings are private, as are Donald Trump's personal tax returns, and there exist a wide range of estimates of the Trump Organization's true value. Donald Trump has been accused on several occasions of deliberately inflating the valuation of Trump Organization properties through the aggressive lobbying of the media, in particular the authors of the annual Forbes 400 list, in order to bolster his perceived net worth among the public over several decades.[17] He has released little definitive financial documentation to the public to confirm his valuation claims.[15][16][85][86]

It is difficult to determine a net value for the Trump Organization's real estate holdings independently since each individual property may be encumbered by debt.[17]

In October 2015, Forbes published an article detailing its decades-long struggle to estimate the true net worth of Trump and the Trump Organization.[87] In 2018, a former Forbes journalist who had worked on the Forbes list claimed in an op-ed to The Washington Post that Trump had lied about his wealth to Forbes to get on the list repeatedly and suggested that Forbes's previous low-end estimates of Trump's net worth were still well above his true net worth.[17]

In November 2021, The Washington Post reported that between 2011 and 2015, the Trump Organization presented several properties as being worth millions of dollars—in one case over $500 million—more to potential lenders than to tax officials. This was being scrutinized by New York prosecutors in their investigation of the organization's possible fraud and tax evasion.[88] The next month, The New York Times reported that prosecutors were examining whether the organization provided its outside accountants, Mazars, with cherry-picked information with which to prepare favorable financial statements to present to prospective lenders.[89] In February 2022, Mazars cited the New York investigation in announcing that it would no longer stand by its financial statements created for the Trump Organization from mid-2010 to mid-2020, and that it would no longer work with the organization.[90]

Trump presidency

On January 11, 2017, before starting his tenure as president of the United States, Trump announced that he and his daughter Ivanka would fully resign and his sons Donald Jr. and Eric would take executive charge of the various businesses, along with Chief Finance Officer Allen Weisselberg.[91] Trump transferred his companies into a revocable trust, allowing him to tell the trustees how to run the company and fire them at any time.[92]

Trump retained his financial stake in the business, despite having offered during the campaign to put all his assets in a blind trust should he win the presidency.[93][94] His attorney at the time, Sheri Dillon, said Trump's assets would be overseen by an ethics officer, and that the Trump Organization would not pursue any new foreign business deals.[95] Under the pre-inaugural management agreement, Forbes magazine reported in March 2017:

The Trump Organization has curtailed some of its international work, pulling out of deals in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Brazil, while pledging to do no new foreign deals (though it has apparently resurrected an old deal in the Dominican Republic). Trump's international hotel licensing and management business makes up only $220 million of his estimated $3.5 billion fortune, but it's the most dynamic part of the Trump portfolio—and it throws off chunks of cash with virtually no risk. As the Trumps have wound down some international deals, they continue to push forward with new domestic agreements.

Eric Trump, in the Forbes article, discussed the "clear separation of church and state that we maintain" between the business and his father and said that with his father's presidency and related changes "[y]ou could look at it either way" in terms of business prospects. He also said that "he will continue to update his father on the business while he is in the presidency ... 'probably quarterly ... profitability reports and stuff like that'." The article quoted Larry Noble, general counsel of the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center and a former chief ethics officer at the Federal Election Commission, and President George W. Bush's former chief ethics lawyer, Richard Painter, as looking negatively at such multiple planned updates of Trump's businesses per year.[96] Noble said in part "if he is now going to get reports from his son about the businesses, then he really isn't separate in any real way." Painter said in part "at the end of the day, he owns the business. He has the conflicts that come with it."[96]

Also in March 2017, Forbes did a listing of all "36 mini-Trumps", as it termed the domestic and international partners—often described as "billionaires"—with whom the Trump Organization has worked over the years. Introducing the listing, the magazine reported that at least 14 of the partners attended Trump's inauguration and some of them paid for $18,000-a-night accommodations at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., for the event.[97]

In April 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Eric Trump stated that the Trump Organization had requested rental relief from the landlord for its Trump International Hotel, which is the General Services Administration of the federal government.[98]

In September 2020, it was revealed that Trump's properties had charged the government over $1.1 million since the beginning of his presidency. At the Bedminster club, for example, the Secret Service rented a three-bedroom cottage for $17,000 per month. The Washington Post arrived at this total amount after it filed a public-records lawsuit and pieced together receipts and invoices from Trump's businesses.[99]

Political contributions were also spent at Trump properties. The total amount paid by the Trump campaign to Trump properties during his presidency is estimated at $10–17 million.[100]

Conflicts of interest

 
The January 2024 report released by the Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee detailing over $7.8 million in payments made by foreign governments to Donald Trump during his presidency.

Conflict of interest concerns were raised soon after Trump became president when China preliminarily approved 38 trademarks in his name for a variety of branded businesses including hotels, restaurants, spas, escort services, and massage parlors. Trump had applied for the trademarks as a candidate in April 2016.[101][102] In 2018 and 2019, China granted 23 trademarks to Trump-owned companies and to Ivanka Trump while the U.S. administration and China were engaged in trade negotiations.[103][104]

In January 2024, Democratic members of the US House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released a report, White House for Sale: How Princes, Prime Ministers, and Premiers Paid Off President Trump, detailing over $7.8 million in payments from foreign governments to Trump-owned businesses. After Republicans took control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections, the committee stopped requesting financial records from Trump's accounting firm, Mazars, leading the report to assume that additional payments had occurred.[105][106]

Investigations for fraud and tax evasion

 
Fred Trump in the 1980s

In August 2018, the Manhattan district attorney (DA) was reported to be considering criminal charges against the organization and two of its senior executives for their accounting of then-Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen's hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.[107]

In October 2018, The New York Times published a lengthy exposé concerning Donald Trump's inheritance from his parents, Fred and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump. It includes detailed analyses of Trump family financial records.[c] The article describes an alleged tax fraud scheme conducted by Trump and his siblings related to their joint inheritance of their parents's real estate holdings, effectively evading over $500 million in gift and estate taxes. The alleged schemes involved siphoning money from the companies to the children throughout their lives and understating the value of transferred properties.[71] In mid-2021, Mary L. Trump (a primary source for the exposé) elaborated on how the organization used a shell corporation to siphon money, devaluing Fred Trump's "core business" to $30 million at the time of his death.[109]

Michael Cohen testified to Congress in February 2019 that Trump "inflated [the organization's] total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed amongst the wealthiest people in Forbes, and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes."[110] Following Cohen's testimony, the New York State Department of Financial Services issued a subpoena to Aon, the organization's longtime insurance broker.[111] By September 2019, the organization was under federal investigation by the Southern District of New York regarding inflated insurance claims allegations.[112]

In January 2020, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine sued the organization and Trump's inaugural committee on the basis that it had funneled nonprofit funding intended for the inauguration to the Trumps via event accommodations and a private party costing several hundred thousand dollars at the Trump Hotel. Ivanka Trump testified in December 2020 that she had little to no involvement in the event, which Mother Jones reported in June 2021 was false.[113][114] Donald Jr. similarly made key statements in his February 2021 testimony which Mother Jones reported in April 2021 were false.[115] In November 2021, a D.C. Superior Court judge dismissed a portion of the lawsuit and dropped the organization as a defendant.[116] Later that month, Racine filed a motion requesting for the organization to be reinstated as a defendant. In February 2022, this request was granted.[117] In May, it was reported that the organization and inaugural committee, which both denied wrongdoing, would pay a $750,000 settlement which will benefit two D.C.-based nonprofits.[118]

In August 2020, New York Attorney General (AG) Letitia James disclosed in a court filing that her office was conducting a civil investigation of the organization for the asset inflation allegation, asking a court to compel the organization to provide information it had been withholding.[119] The Manhattan DA, which had been seeking Donald Trump's tax returns, suggested in an August 2020 federal court filing that the organization was under investigation for bank and insurance fraud.[120] Eric Trump was deposed on October 5. He reportedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over 500 times.[121][122]

On May 18, 2021, the New York AG's office announced that it was joining the Manhattan DA's office in probing the organization "in a criminal capacity."[123] The Manhattan DA convened a special grand jury to consider indicting Trump, his company and/or executives.[124][125] By June 2021, longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg and chief operating officer Matthew Calamari were under scrutiny of the Manhattan DA investigation.[126][127]

Criminal and civil charges

On July 1, 2021, the Manhattan district attorney criminally charged the Trump Organization with a "15 year 'scheme to defraud' the government", conspiracy, and falsifying business records. Prosecutors filed 10 charges against the organization and its Trump Payroll Corporation entity, and 15 felony counts against Weisselberg, including grand larceny and offering a false instrument for filing.[128][129][130] Prosecutors allege that Weisselberg received about $1.76 million in undeclared indirect compensation in the form of free rent and utilities, car leases for himself and his wife, and school tuition for his grandchildren.[131][132]

Both the organization and Weisselberg pleaded not guilty.[133] On July 8, the Trump Organization removed Weisselberg as director of the company running Trump International Golf Links, Scotland; on July 9, the company removed him as director of 40 subsidiaries registered in Florida.[134] It was later reported that Weisselberg had invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over 500 times.[122]

The Manhattan DA convened a second grand jury the last week of October 2021; it began to hear evidence on November 4, reportedly to consider charges related to the company's valuation of assets.[135] By November 22, prosecutors were scrutinizing several of the organization's properties for which, between 2011 and 2015, far higher values were presented to potential lenders than were reported to tax officials. In the most extreme case, in 2012, the 40 Wall Street building was cited as being worth $527 million to the former, but only $16.7 million to the latter.[88] Michael Cohen subsequently stated that prosecutors could "indict Donald Trump tomorrow if they really wanted, and be successful".[136] On December 1, the New York AG subpoenaed Trump in the civil case, with plans to depose him on January 7, 2022.[137][138] Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. were issued subpoenas in the matter on the same day.[138][139]

By mid-December 2021, an accountant for Trump had testified before the grand jury.[140] Prosecutors were reportedly examining whether the organization provided its outside accountants, Mazars USA, with cherry-picked information with which to prepare favorable financial statements to present to prospective lenders. Mazars provided disclaimers with its financial statements for the organization, indicating that the firm had not audited, reviewed, or given any assurances about them, and noting that "Donald J. Trump is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America."[89] The Republican National Committee (RNC) agreed to pay up to $1.6 million of Trump's legal expenses for his defense in both the civil and criminal cases, which an RNC spokesperson referred to as "politically motivated legal proceedings".[141]

In December 2021, Trump's lawyer Alina Habba filed a lawsuit against New York AG Letitia James, alleging that the investigation of the former president was "guided solely by political animus and a desire to harass, intimidate, and retaliate against a private citizen who she views as a political opponent" and that his civil rights were being violated.[142] A federal judge dismissed the suit in May 2022.[143]

On January 3, 2022, James and a lawyer for the organization filed a court document noting that Donald Trump and his two eldest children had moved to block their subpoenas on the premise that the AG was attempting to sidestep due process to gather evidence against them in the related criminal case.[138][139] James argued that the Trumps were using a continued pattern of "delay tactics" to keep her from interviewing them under oath.[138][144] On January 10, Habba filed a motion seeking a stay of proceedings to allow an injunction against James.[145][142]

On January 18, James filed a motion to compel Trump and his two oldest children to appear in court, stating that "Thus far in our investigation, we have uncovered significant evidence that suggests Donald J. Trump and the Trump Organization falsely and fraudulently valued multiple assets and misrepresented those values to financial institutions for economic benefit."[146][147] On February 17, a judge rejected an argument by a Trump attorney that the former president belongs to a protected class and ordered the Trumps to testify;[148][149] the First Judicial Department of the Supreme Court of New York State upheld this ruling on May 26.[150] From late April to late June, Trump was held in civil contempt for failing to provide subpoenaed documents.[151][152] Subsequently, real-estate firm Cushman & Wakefield, which conducted appraisals for several Trump Organization properties (before cutting ties by January 2021), was held in contempt for failing to meet a deadline for subpoenaed documents.[153]

On September 21, 2022, James announced a civil lawsuit against Trump, his three oldest children, and the organization for fraud and other forms of misrepresentation, citing over 200 alleged instances and asserting that Trump "wildly exaggerated his net worth by billions of dollars".[154] The suit sought $250 million in penalties and future restrictions on Trump family business activities in New York State.[155] In advance of filing the suit, Trump sat for a deposition during which he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over 440 times.[156] On November 3, the New York judge overseeing the lawsuit approved James's request for an independent monitor to prevent future fraud by the organization, specifically requiring the judge's approval before any assets were sold or transferred.[157] James found that days before her suit was filed, Trump attorneys had created a new Delaware corporation, dubbed Trump Organization II, which she was concerned could be used to protect Trump's assets from a financial judgment.[158]

After weeks of internal debate within the district attorney's office about the strength of the evidence against Trump, two top prosecutors in the case resigned in February 2022 after new district attorney Alvin Bragg said he was not prepared to authorize an indictment of Trump personally.[159] One of the prosecutors who resigned, Mark Pomerantz, stated in his resignation letter that Trump was "guilty of numerous felony violations" and that he was confident it could be proven in court. Bragg's spokeswoman later said the investigation was continuing.[160] The criminal trial against the Trump Organization began on October 24.[161]

On December 6, 2022, a New York jury convicted the Trump Organization on all 17 of its tax fraud charges.[8][162] One entity, The Trump Corporation, was convicted of nine criminal charges, while its other entity, The Trump Payroll Corporation, was convicted of eight criminal charges as well.[163][8][19]

"Corporate death penalty"

In September 2023, Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over the civil suit, ruled that Trump, his adult sons and the organization repeatedly committed fraud and ordered their New York business certificates canceled and their business entities sent into receivership for dissolution in what has been described by observers as a 'corporate death penalty'.[9][164][165]

Real estate

As of 2019, Trump's net worth (as estimated by Forbes) was $3.1 billion, with about half of that coming from his New York City real estate holdings, and about a third coming from his national and international properties (including hotels and golf courses).[168] Licensing fees paid by outside owners for using Trump's name on their properties also contribute to his overall net worth.[169][170]

Selected completed properties

 
The Trump World Tower at United Nations Plaza
 
The Trump International Hotel and Tower (New York City) at Columbus Circle
  • Trump Tower, 725 Fifth Avenue, Midtown Manhattan: A 58-story[171] mixed-use tower, the headquarters of the Trump Organization, was developed in partnership with The Equitable, and opened in 1983. Trump bought out the Equitable's stake in 1986,[172] and now owns the office and retail components of the tower.[173] The building also contains the three-story penthouse apartment that was Donald Trump's primary residence until he moved to the White House.[174] The value of the tower was estimated at $450 million in 2017.[175] Trump took out a $100 million mortgage on the building in 2012.[173]
  • Trump World Tower, 845 United Nations Plaza, also in Midtown Manhattan: In 2006, Forbes magazine estimated "$290 million in profits and unrealized appreciation" going to Trump.[176]
  • AXA Financial Center in Manhattan and 555 California Street in San Francisco: Trump owns a 30 percent stake in these two office buildings, resulting from a property swap involving Riverside South. Trump's stake in the two buildings was estimated to be at least $850 million as of 2013.[173]
  • The Trump Building at 40 Wall Street: Trump bought and renovated this building for $1 million in 1995. The pre-tax net operating income at the building as of 2011 was $20.89 million and is valued between $350 million and $400 million, according to the New York Department of Finance.

Carousel

In 2010, Trump took over the management of the Central Park Carousel, a merry-go-round located in Manhattan's Central Park, promising to revive the merry-go-round after its previous operator was removed by the city's parks department. The carousel generated $589,000 from annual admissions.[185][186][187] The Trump Organization had a contract to operate the carousel through April 2021.[188] The contract was awarded to another company in 2021.[189]

Skating rinks

 
Wollman Rink, Central Park

In 1986, Trump rebuilt the deteriorating Wollman Rink two months ahead of schedule and $750,000 under the $2.5 million price ceiling imposed by the city.[190][191][192] Trump asked his contractors, among them HRH Construction, to do the work without making a profit, promising them publicity but not mentioning their contributions to the press afterwards.[193] Trump was given a concession to operate the rink for a year, with the profits to be given to charity. In 1987, as part of the agreement to keep operating Wollman Rink, the Trump Organization agreed to also take a concession for the Lasker Rink; they held the concessions until 1995.[194]

In 2001, a Trump-owned subsidiary, Wollman Rink Operations LLC, won another concession to operate the rinks until April 30, 2021.[195][196] Wollman Rink Operations LLC is owned by DJT Holdings LLC which was owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust for the duration of Trump's presidency.[195] The Trump name was prominently displayed on the walls of the Wollman Rink and on the Zamboni maintaining the ice. In 2019, the Trump Organization replaced the name with Wollman Rink logos.[197] In his financial disclosure filed in May 2018, Trump reported nearly $35 million in income from the two rinks since 2015.[195][186]

The Trump Organization's contract to operate the rinks expired in April 2021.[188][198][199]

Trump Winery

Trump Winery is a winery situated on Trump Vineyard Estates near Charlottesville, Virginia. It is valued between $5 million and $25 million.[200]

The vineyard was purchased by Trump in April 2011 from Patricia Kluge, the widow of John Kluge. The property was distressed.[201] and was officially opened in October 2011.[202] Trump Winery is situated in the Monticello Wine Trail. Trump's son Eric was a partner in the purchase.[203]

After purchasing the property, Trump turned over management of the winery to his son.

Golf courses

The Trump Organization owns or manages seventeen golf courses in the United States, Scotland, Ireland, and the United Arab Emirates.[204] As of 2015, Trump listed income of at least $176 million in an 18-month span from his golf courses—about 41% of the low-end estimate of his income.[200]

Real estate licensing

Many developers pay Donald Trump to market their properties and be the public face for their projects.[212] For that reason, Trump does not own many of the buildings that display his name.[212] According to Forbes, this portion of Trump's empire, actually run by his children, has a valuation of $562 million. According to Forbes, there were 33 licensing projects under development including seven "condo hotels" (the seven Trump International Hotel and Tower developments). Trump has generated more than $74 million in real estate licensing deals and has $823.3 million worth of real estate in joint ventures.[173]

Trump International Hotels Management LLC

The company, which did business as the Trump Hotel Collection (THC) until it was renamed Trump Hotels, manages Trump properties and Trump-branded hotels, residential buildings, and golf courses worldwide.[243][244][245]

In 2008, THC formed a consortium with the Evergrande Real Estate Group and a Hongkong-based fund to bid on the construction of the tallest skyscraper in Guangzhou. The bid fell apart when Evergrande withdrew during the global recession.[246][247][248] In 2012, Trump Hotels opened an office in Shanghai and in 2014 entered into a branding and management partnership with the State Grid Corporation of China, China's largest state-owned company, for a major development in Beijing. The project was abandoned a few months into Trump's 2016 presidential campaign when Chinese authorities began a corruption investigation into State Grid.[245][249]

The property had been appraised at $58.1 million in 2007.[261] The property was at the time the most expensive house ever sold in the United States.[262] Discussing the buyer of the property with a reporter for The Palm Beach Post as the sale was pending, Trump told her, "Don't say Russian"; the paper reported the buyer as "foreign".[263] The sale was examined by the Mueller special counsel investigation in 2017.[264]

Scion and American Idea hotels

Early in the Trump presidency, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. announced the creation of two new signature hotel brands, Scion and American Idea, as "the next generation of the company". After initially announcing as many as thirty potential deals in their pipeline, the ventures were scrapped in early 2019, with only one uncompleted hotel in Mississippi.[268]

Related ventures and investments

Trump owns a wide variety of other enterprises outside real estate (which had an estimated 2013 value of $317.6 million).[269] Other investments include a 17.2% stake in Parker Adnan, Inc. (formerly AdnanCo Group), a Bermuda-based financial services holdings company. He took in $1.1 million in men's wear licensing royalties.[270] Trump earns $15,000 to $100,000 in book royalties and $2.2 million for his involvement with Trump Model Management every year.[271] Until 2015, Trump owned the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants, collectively worth $15 million.[173]

  • Trump Cards. In 2022, Trump licensed his "name, likeness and image" for the issuance of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), digital trading cards depicting Trump as a superhero, an Old West sheriff, and various other figures.[284] The NFTs went on sale 30 days after Trump announced his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election but the initial announcement of the cards was made much earlier, at a time when he was expected to be announcing his presidential candidacy instead causing some to accuse Trump of bait and switch tactics.[285] The ERC-721 standard was used to tokenize the collection of 44,000 images and each were priced at $99 initially and sold out the first day for nearly $4 million despite public criticisms about them.[286]

In 2005, Trump reportedly received $1.5 million for a one-hour lecture at The Learning Annex Real Estate World Expo, with another seven events scheduled for a total fee of $12 million.[287] In a court deposition two years later, Trump admitted that he was paid $400,000.[288][289]

The Trump Organization also housed ventures started by Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka, including Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry (a jewelry line) and the Ivanka Trump Lifestyle Collection (a high-end designer-fashion and cosmetics line that includes fragrances, footwear, handbags, outerwear and eyewear collections); the ventures were discontinued in 2017 and 2018, respectively.[290][291][292]

ACN, Inc.

From 2005 to 2015, Trump was paid $8.8 million for promoting multi-level marketing telecommunications company ACN Inc. and its products on ACN's website,[293] promotional DVDs and at their events, and on his The Apprentice reality-TV show.[294][295]

In 2018, four investors filed a federal civil lawsuit in the Southern District of New York against Donald Trump and his children Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric for fraud and racketeering. In July 2019, a district judge permitted the lawsuit to proceed with state-level claims of fraud, false advertising, and unfair competition.[296][297][298] The Trumps were accused of not having disclosed that they were being paid by ACN when they recommended the company as a sound investment. As part of the discovery process, the Trumps were ordered in March 2020 to provide information from Trump Organization business records back to 2005.[299]

In April 2020, a federal judge ordered MGM, the majority owner of Celebrity Apprentice, to release unaired tapes of two episodes of the show to the attorneys of plaintiffs who accused the four Trumps of misleading them to invest in ACN; in the episodes, celebrity contestants competed to produce commercials for an ACN product.[300] The Trumps appealed the ruling and unsuccessfully sought to deal with the dispute via arbitration.[301] In November 2021, a federal judge ordered MGM to make the tapes available to the plaintiffs' attorneys at a secure location.[300]

Trump and his children were deposed in 2022.[302][303] In May 2023, the plaintiffs withdrew their claims against the children in order to "to streamline the dispute ahead of a trial".[304] The trial is scheduled for January 29, 2024.[305]

Trump Media & Technology Group

Trump registered a new company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), in February 2021 for the purpose of providing "social networking services" to "customers in the United States".[306][307] It launched the social media platform Truth Social in 2022.[308]

In October 2021, Trump announced the planned merger of TMTG with Digital World Acquisition,[309] a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC). A main backer of the SPAC is China-based financier ARC Group, who was reportedly involved in setting up the proposed merger. The transaction is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.[310][311] Shanghai-based ARC also offered $2 million to get Digital World Acquisition off the ground.[312]

The CEO of Digital World Acquisition, hired from Wuhan-based operation Yunhong Holdings,[313][312][314][315] broke ties with China in December 2021.[316] In February 2022, TMTG launched Truth Social, a Twitter-like social media platform.[317] As of March 2023, Trump Media, which had taken $8 million from Russia-connected entities, was being investigated by federal prosecutors for possible money laundering.[318][319] In March 2023, Digital World Acquisition fired its CEO in the anticipation of Trump's indictment.[320]

Coats of arms

 
The coat of arms granted to Davies in 1939
 
The coat of arms granted to "The Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd" in 2011

Donald Trump has used a number of logos in the style of coats of arms for his businesses.

Joseph E. Davies, third husband of Marjorie Merriweather Post and a former U.S. ambassador of Welsh origins, was granted a coat of arms, bearing the motto Integritas, by British heraldic authorities in 1939. After Donald Trump purchased Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate built by Merriweather Post, in 1985, the Trump Organization started using Davies's coat of arms at Trump golf courses and estates across the country.[321] It was also registered with the U.S. patent and trademark office.[322]

In 2008, Trump attempted to establish the American logo at his new Trump International Golf Links in Balmedie, Scotland, but was warned by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, the highest authority for Scottish heraldry, that an act of the Scottish Parliament from 1672 disallows people using unregistered arms. In January 2012, shortly after the inauguration of the golf course, Trump unveiled the new coat of arms[323] that had been granted to "The Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd" by the Lord Lyon in 2011.[324]

Sarah Malone, executive vice-president of "The Trump International Golf Links, Scotland", said that "the coat of arms brings together visual elements that signify different aspects of the Trump family heritage [...], the Lion Rampant [in the crest] makes reference to Scotland and the stars to America. Three chevronels are used to denote the sky, sand dunes and sea—the essential components of the site, and the double-[headed] Eagle represents the dual nature and nationality of Trump's heritage (Scottish and German). The Eagle clutches golf balls making reference to the great name of golf, and the motto Numquam Concedere is Latin for Never Give Up—Trump's philosophy."[323]

From 2014, Trump used the same logo for "The Trump International Golf Links, Ireland", the golf resort built from his acquisition of Doonbeg Golf Club.[325][326]

Shield

Party per chevron: Azure two Mullets Argent; Vert a double headed Eagle of the second, wings displayed and inverted, armed and langued Gules, holding in its talons two Globes of the second; overall three chevronels Or.[327]

Crest

A demi Lion rampant Gules, armed and langued Azure, holding in the paws a Pennon Or flowing to the sinister.

Battle cry

"Numquam concedere" (Latin for "Never Give Up").

true value is not publicly known though a wide range of estimates have been made Trump has publicly released little definitive financial documentation to confirm his valuation claims 15 16 On several occasions Trump has been accused of deliberately inflating the valuation of Trump Organization properties through aggressive lobbying of the media in particular the authors of the annual Forbes 400

See also 7 Notes 8 References 8 1 Sources 9 Further reading 10 External linksHistoryBackground Donald Trump s grandparents Frederick Trump and Elizabeth Christ Trump were a German immigrant couple who moved to the borough of Queens in 1906 Frederick began developing real estate there He died during the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 leaving an estate valued at 31 359 22 or about 535 381 in 2020 Elizabeth carried on in the real estate business after her husband s death She had contractors build houses on the empty lots Frederick had owned sold the houses and earned income off the mortgages she provided to buyers 23 Her middle child Donald Trump s father Fred Trump entered the carpentry trade after graduating high school in 1923 24 Fred would later say he completed his first single family home in 1924 25 26 but other sources date his start as a builder to 1927 27 In that year Fred reached the age of majority and E Trump amp Son a name Elizabeth had used in ads since 1921 was formally incorporated 28 a In 1929 with Fred at the helm the company began developing pricier houses in nearby Jamaica Estates 35 36 In the deepening depression the company went out of business 37 In 1933 Fred opened a supermarket called Trump Market then quickly sold it and returned to the real estate business Around this same time Fred Trump and a partner acquired the mortgage servicing subsidiary of Brooklyn s J Lehrenkrauss amp Co which had gone bankrupt and subsequently been broken up amid charges of fraud This gave Trump access to the titles of many properties nearing foreclosure which he bought at low cost and sold for a profit He quickly became known as one of New York City s most successful young businessmen 38 39 In 1935 the company moved to Brooklyn 39 where in addition to Queens Trump was a prolific builder of single family homes 40 During World War II Trump constructed apartments and temporary housing for military personnel in Virginia and Pennsylvania 40 In 1944 he shifted his focus back to Brooklyn and began planning to develop large apartment buildings 41 He opened the 1 344 unit Shore Haven complex in 1949 42 followed by Beach Haven in 1950 43 and Trump Village in 1964 44 Leadership under Donald Trump Main article Business career of Donald Trump Donald Trump worked for his father s business while attending the University of Pennsylvania and in 1968 officially joined the company 29 In the early 1970s Fred became chairman of the board while Donald was made president of the company 45 Around 1973 he began referring to the business as the Trump Organization b The business had previously been referred to on occasion as the Fred C Trump Organization 48 49 the Fred Trump Organization 50 51 or the Trump Organization 52 but had not had a single formal name Civil rights suit In 1973 the U S Department of Justice s DOJ Civil Rights Division filed a civil rights suit against the Trump Organization charging them for violating the 1968 Fair Housing Act by refusing to rent to Black people The National Urban League had sent Black and White testers to apply for apartments in Trump owned complexes The White testers got the apartments whereas the Black testers did not According to court records four superintendents or rental agents reported that applications sent to the central office for acceptance or rejection were coded by race 53 A 1979 Village Voice article quoted a rental agent who said Fred Trump had instructed him not to rent to Black people and to encourage existing Black tenants to leave In 1975 a consent decree described by the head of DOJ s housing division as one of the most far reaching ever negotiated required Trump to advertise vacancies in minority papers and list vacancies with the Urban League The Justice Department subsequently stated that continuing racially discriminatory conduct by Trump agents has occurred with such frequency that it has created a substantial impediment to the full enjoyment of equal opportunity 54 Manhattan developments and more Donald Trump focused his efforts on major development projects in Manhattan including the renovation of the Commodore Hotel in partnership with Hyatt as the Grand Hyatt New York opened in 1980 55 the construction of Trump Tower in partnership with The Equitable 1983 56 and the development of Trump Plaza 1984 57 He also opened three casino hotels in Atlantic City New Jersey Trump Plaza 1984 58 Trump Castle 1985 59 and Trump Taj Mahal 1990 60 In 1989 New York State officials ordered the Grand Hyatt New York a hotel owned at the time by the Trump Organization and the Hyatt Corporation to pay New York City 2 9 million in rent that had been withheld by the hotel in 1986 due to unusual accounting changes approved by Donald Trump 61 An investigation by New York City auditors noted that the hotel was missing basic financial records and found the hotel was using procedures that violated generally accepted accounting principles Amid a real estate slump in 1990 the Trump Organization approached a financial crisis and was believed to be on the brink of collapse with Donald Trump and his companies owing 72 banks a total of 4 billion of which Trump personally guaranteed 800 million 62 Trump hired Stephen Bollenbach as the company s first chief financial officer while Allen Weisselberg continued to serve under him as controller 63 64 Trump spent the following years renegotiating his debts and gave up some properties including the Trump Shuttle airline and a stake in the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan 65 Bollenbach left the company in 1992 66 In 1995 Trump took another major step towards financial stability launching a publicly traded company for the Trump casinos Trump Hotels amp Casino Resorts 65 67 By 1996 Trump was widely considered to be making a comeback 65 68 The casino company did not fare as well however and Trump eventually lost his stake in the company to bankruptcy 69 70 In 1997 Fred Trump transferred ownership of the bulk of his portfolio of apartment buildings to his four surviving children Donald Robert Maryanne and Elizabeth submitting tax returns claiming the properties were worth 41 4 million 71 Fred died in 1999 43 In 2004 the four siblings sold the apartments for 737 9 million to a group led by Rubie Schron 71 marking the family s exit from ownership of their father s business 72 73 74 Financing During the property boom of the 1980s Trump acquired numerous properties and by 1990 owed 4 billion to 72 banks 62 When the market entered a slump in 1990 that placed the organization at risk of collapse Trump and his lenders acted to restructure his debts although they disagree on who identified the problem and initiated negotiations The resulting restructuring required his banks to forgive some of Trump s debt 62 Trump s casinos later entered bankruptcies in which his bondholders took deep losses After these incidents Trump had difficulty borrowing new money from most mainstream financial institutions 75 Deutsche Bank which did not have a significant presence on Wall Street during the 1980s expanded rapidly in the U S during the 1990s Trump obtained a loan of approximately 425 million from them in 1998 75 In the process of its rapid expansion the bank engaged in numerous questionable practices including manipulating currencies and interest rates laundering billions of dollars for Russian oligarchs and misleading international bank regulators 75 The bank was fined 630 million in 2017 for facilitating a 10 billion Russian money laundering scheme 76 The bank provided Trump with a variety of services including financial instruments designed to shield him from risks and outside scrutiny and helped connect Trump to wealthy clients including some from Russia who were interested in Western real estate 75 During the 2000s and 2010s Trump borrowed 2 billion from the bank owing it about 360 million in 2016 75 77 From 2000 on the Trump Organization held 50 of TD Trump Deutschland AG a corporate venture with a German company planning to build a skyscraper named Trump Tower Europe in Frankfurt Berlin or Stuttgart but allegedly never paid the full amount of their 2 million share 78 At least three lawsuits followed and the company was disestablished in 2005 79 By mid 2016 it was alleged that the organization specifically under the leadership of Donald Trump had a history of not paying for services rendered Several hundred contractors or workers for the organization have filed lawsuits or liens saying they were not paid for their work and others say they had to settle for cents on the dollar 80 Trump s eldest son Donald Jr was quoted as saying at a 2008 New York real estate conference In terms of high end product influx into the US Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross section of a lot of our assets We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia 81 James Dodson a golf magazine writer said that during a 2014 golf game he asked Trump s son Eric how the organization was funding its golf resort acquisitions to which Trump responded Well we don t rely on American banks We have all the funding we need out of Russia Eric Trump later denied making the statement 82 although some of the company s financing apparently involves Russian money 83 84 The organization has many projects in foreign nations leading some to point to a conflict of interest with foreign nations should Donald Trump become the president of the United States 77 Valuation disputes The financial statements of the Trump Organization s holdings are private as are Donald Trump s personal tax returns and there exist a wide range of estimates of the Trump Organization s true value Donald Trump has been accused on several occasions of deliberately inflating the valuation of Trump Organization properties through the aggressive lobbying of the media in particular the authors of the annual Forbes 400 list in order to bolster his perceived net worth among the public over several decades 17 He has released little definitive financial documentation to the public to confirm his valuation claims 15 16 85 86 It is difficult to determine a net value for the Trump Organization s real estate holdings independently since each individual property may be encumbered by debt 17 In October 2015 Forbes published an article detailing its decades long struggle to estimate the true net worth of Trump and the Trump Organization 87 In 2018 a former Forbes journalist who had worked on the Forbes list claimed in an op ed to The Washington Post that Trump had lied about his wealth to Forbes to get on the list repeatedly and suggested that Forbes s previous low end estimates of Trump s net worth were still well above his true net worth 17 In November 2021 The Washington Post reported that between 2011 and 2015 the Trump Organization presented several properties as being worth millions of dollars in one case over 500 million more to potential lenders than to tax officials This was being scrutinized by New York prosecutors in their investigation of the organization s possible fraud and tax evasion 88 The next month The New York Times reported that prosecutors were examining whether the organization provided its outside accountants Mazars with cherry picked information with which to prepare favorable financial statements to present to prospective lenders 89 In February 2022 Mazars cited the New York investigation in announcing that it would no longer stand by its financial statements created for the Trump Organization from mid 2010 to mid 2020 and that it would no longer work with the organization 90 Trump presidency On January 11 2017 before starting his tenure as president of the United States Trump announced that he and his daughter Ivanka would fully resign and his sons Donald Jr and Eric would take executive charge of the various businesses along with Chief Finance Officer Allen Weisselberg 91 Trump transferred his companies into a revocable trust allowing him to tell the trustees how to run the company and fire them at any time 92 Trump retained his financial stake in the business despite having offered during the campaign to put all his assets in a blind trust should he win the presidency 93 94 His attorney at the time Sheri Dillon said Trump s assets would be overseen by an ethics officer and that the Trump Organization would not pursue any new foreign business deals 95 Under the pre inaugural management agreement Forbes magazine reported in March 2017 The Trump Organization has curtailed some of its international work pulling out of deals in Azerbaijan Georgia and Brazil while pledging to do no new foreign deals though it has apparently resurrected an old deal in the Dominican Republic Trump s international hotel licensing and management business makes up only 220 million of his estimated 3 5 billion fortune but it s the most dynamic part of the Trump portfolio and it throws off chunks of cash with virtually no risk As the Trumps have wound down some international deals they continue to push forward with new domestic agreements Eric Trump in the Forbes article discussed the clear separation of church and state that we maintain between the business and his father and said that with his father s presidency and related changes y ou could look at it either way in terms of business prospects He also said that he will continue to update his father on the business while he is in the presidency probably quarterly profitability reports and stuff like that The article quoted Larry Noble general counsel of the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center and a former chief ethics officer at the Federal Election Commission and President George W Bush s former chief ethics lawyer Richard Painter as looking negatively at such multiple planned updates of Trump s businesses per year 96 Noble said in part if he is now going to get reports from his son about the businesses then he really isn t separate in any real way Painter said in part at the end of the day he owns the business He has the conflicts that come with it 96 Also in March 2017 Forbes did a listing of all 36 mini Trumps as it termed the domestic and international partners often described as billionaires with whom the Trump Organization has worked over the years Introducing the listing the magazine reported that at least 14 of the partners attended Trump s inauguration and some of them paid for 18 000 a night accommodations at the Trump International Hotel in Washington D C for the event 97 In April 2020 amid the COVID 19 pandemic in the United States Eric Trump stated that the Trump Organization had requested rental relief from the landlord for its Trump International Hotel which is the General Services Administration of the federal government 98 In September 2020 it was revealed that Trump s properties had charged the government over 1 1 million since the beginning of his presidency At the Bedminster club for example the Secret Service rented a three bedroom cottage for 17 000 per month The Washington Post arrived at this total amount after it filed a public records lawsuit and pieced together receipts and invoices from Trump s businesses 99 Political contributions were also spent at Trump properties The total amount paid by the Trump campaign to Trump properties during his presidency is estimated at 10 17 million 100 Conflicts of interest nbsp The January 2024 report released by the Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee detailing over 7 8 million in payments made by foreign governments to Donald Trump during his presidency Conflict of interest concerns were raised soon after Trump became president when China preliminarily approved 38 trademarks in his name for a variety of branded businesses including hotels restaurants spas escort services and massage parlors Trump had applied for the trademarks as a candidate in April 2016 101 102 In 2018 and 2019 China granted 23 trademarks to Trump owned companies and to Ivanka Trump while the U S administration and China were engaged in trade negotiations 103 104 In January 2024 Democratic members of the US House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released a report White House for Sale How Princes Prime Ministers and Premiers Paid Off President Trump detailing over 7 8 million in payments from foreign governments to Trump owned businesses After Republicans took control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections the committee stopped requesting financial records from Trump s accounting firm Mazars leading the report to assume that additional payments had occurred 105 106 Investigations for fraud and tax evasion Main article New York investigations of The Trump Organization nbsp Fred Trump in the 1980sIn August 2018 the Manhattan district attorney DA was reported to be considering criminal charges against the organization and two of its senior executives for their accounting of then Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen s hush money payment to Stormy Daniels 107 In October 2018 The New York Times published a lengthy expose concerning Donald Trump s inheritance from his parents Fred and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump It includes detailed analyses of Trump family financial records c The article describes an alleged tax fraud scheme conducted by Trump and his siblings related to their joint inheritance of their parents s real estate holdings effectively evading over 500 million in gift and estate taxes The alleged schemes involved siphoning money from the companies to the children throughout their lives and understating the value of transferred properties 71 In mid 2021 Mary L Trump a primary source for the expose elaborated on how the organization used a shell corporation to siphon money devaluing Fred Trump s core business to 30 million at the time of his death 109 Michael Cohen testified to Congress in February 2019 that Trump inflated the organization s total assets when it served his purposes such as trying to be listed amongst the wealthiest people in Forbes and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes 110 Following Cohen s testimony the New York State Department of Financial Services issued a subpoena to Aon the organization s longtime insurance broker 111 By September 2019 the organization was under federal investigation by the Southern District of New York regarding inflated insurance claims allegations 112 In January 2020 D C Attorney General Karl Racine sued the organization and Trump s inaugural committee on the basis that it had funneled nonprofit funding intended for the inauguration to the Trumps via event accommodations and a private party costing several hundred thousand dollars at the Trump Hotel Ivanka Trump testified in December 2020 that she had little to no involvement in the event which Mother Jones reported in June 2021 was false 113 114 Donald Jr similarly made key statements in his February 2021 testimony which Mother Jones reported in April 2021 were false 115 In November 2021 a D C Superior Court judge dismissed a portion of the lawsuit and dropped the organization as a defendant 116 Later that month Racine filed a motion requesting for the organization to be reinstated as a defendant In February 2022 this request was granted 117 In May it was reported that the organization and inaugural committee which both denied wrongdoing would pay a 750 000 settlement which will benefit two D C based nonprofits 118 In August 2020 New York Attorney General AG Letitia James disclosed in a court filing that her office was conducting a civil investigation of the organization for the asset inflation allegation asking a court to compel the organization to provide information it had been withholding 119 The Manhattan DA which had been seeking Donald Trump s tax returns suggested in an August 2020 federal court filing that the organization was under investigation for bank and insurance fraud 120 Eric Trump was deposed on October 5 He reportedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination over 500 times 121
