Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) respectfully requests that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Public Integrity Section investigate whether former President Donald J. Trump knowingly and willfully made material false statements in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2) by reporting more than $50 million owed to one of his own companies, Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC (“Chicago Loan”), as a liability on all nine public financial disclosure reports (“PFDs”) he filed with the Federal Election Commission (“FEC”) and the Office of Government Ethics (“OGE”) between 2015 and 2023, even though the loan appears to have never existed. If the Chicago Loan never existed, as was recently disclosed by a court-appointed monitor, then Mr. Trump may have made false statements in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2) each time he listed it as a liability on one of his PFDs.
That may not go anywhere. But it is worth keeping in mind that it was tax evasion, not murder, bootlegging or racketeering, that landed Al Capone in prison.
And, so, maybe....
