With the media now reporting that criminal charges against the Trump Organization may be imminent, the question presents itself: what might be charged and will the former president be included?
In a new Brookings publication, four leading experts discuss the possible first case that reportedly may lie ahead shortly—and conclude that Trump is at risk of eventual indictment even if he is not named in that initial filing. This report analyzes the potential charges both the Trump Organization and Trump himself may face. The report also goes in depth into the defenses that may be available in response to any indictment.
The authors identify five possible areas of prosecutorial attention to Trump, his business and its executives:

The report looks at New York’s law against falsifying the books and records of a business. That may apply if the company did not properly account for its handling of fringe benefits directed towards its CFO, Allen Weisselberg, or members of his family. The fringe benefits at issue reportedly include apartments, car leases and private school tuition. The same statute may also apply to the company’s reported accounting for other disputed matters. That includes the reimbursement of hush money payments allegedly made at Trump’s direction to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
