    Default Prosecutors rest case in Trump Organization's criminal tax fraud trial

    NEW YORK, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The prosecution rested its case on Monday in the criminal trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump's real estate company on charges including tax fraud after calling five witnesses over three weeks, setting the stage for the Trump Organization to begin to mount its defense.

    Jurors in New York state court in Manhattan last week heard from the prosecution's star witness Allen Weisselberg, the company's former chief financial officer, who testified that the Trump Organization paid his personal expenses including rent and car leases for more than a decade, allowing him to avoid paying taxes on $1.76 million in income.

    The Trump Organization, which operates hotels, golf courses and other real estate around the world, could face up to $1.6 million in fines for the three tax fraud counts and six other counts it faces, if convicted. It has pleaded not guilty.

    Trump broke laws and regulations as a matter of course. He bragged about it. Now he may have to pay bigly. Trump is a poor excuse for a human being.

    Trump openly brags about breaking the law. He thinks it is funny.

    I've not been following. Has the defense presented its case yet?

    There will come a day where Donald Trump is gone, but the dishonor of those who carried his water will remain.
