Reporters uncover pile of receipts that question honesty of Juniors deposition testimonyThe news cycle during the last White House administration was a never-ending stream of corruption and nepotism. The Trumps (and Kushners) participated in such transparent acts of self-dealing and corruption that it became clear they believed their positions in government would immunize them from any prosecution of their actions. Added to this cocktail of criminality and power, is the fact that the Trump family is filled with starkly third-rate people, like Donald Trump Jr. It isnt hard to see how they have broken the laws, stolen Americans money, and abused their positions in government.
In January of 2020, Washington, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine filed a civil complaint against the Trump Organization and the Presidential Inaugural Committee. Racine alleged that these two Trumpian groups acted a lot like money laundering operations. A year later, while the Trump and Republican machine tried to overthrow our democratically elected government, Racine was asking for depositions from both Ivanka and Junior. Reportedly, Racine was asking the conmans progeny about money purportedly spent by Trumps Inaugural Committee on the Trump Organizationthe latter technically being the family business. Ivanka worked the Inaugural Committee while Junior worked the Trump Organization. At the time, Racine reportedly said Trump Jr.s deposition raised further questions, that his office would continue to pursue.
Mother Jones reports that some of the questions raised during Juniors deposition may revolve around him lying during his testimony. [play sound of a rim shot]
Donald Trump Jr.s deposition is filled with his inability to recall whether or not he was involved at all in the deals and moves being made to bring together Donald Trumps 2017 inauguration. One might say he pleads ignorance to most questions asked of him by attorneys. And even though the words ignorance and Donald Trump Jr., go together like peanut butter and chocolate, Junior possibly being a liar is more believable.
