A New York grand jury has indicted the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, on tax-related criminal charges, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The charges, expected to be revealed in court Thursday, would mark the first against former President Donald Trump’s company since prosecutors three years ago started looking into suspicions that Trump’s business undervalued its properties to reduce its taxes. The allegations are not expected to implicate Trump, who has denied wrongdoing and called the investigations by the Manhattan prosecutor and the state attorney general, both Democrats, politically motivated. He said earlier this week the case involved “things that are standard practice throughout the U.S. business community, and in no way a crime.”
