Iran Press/ America: In addition to being the defendant in no fewer than 29 lawsuits, according to The Washington Post, the 74-year-old is also the subject of multiple criminal investigations — including one in which lawyers have obtained access to his tax returns after a four-year fight on Trump's part to keep them secret.
The investigation into whether he has committed bank, tax, and insurance fraud has stepped up a notch in recent weeks after the personal bank records of Trump Organisation CFO Allen Weisselberg were subpoenaed.
People with knowledge of the matter also told The Times that prosecutors are seeking a new round of internal Trump Organisation documents to compare those details [of each Trump property's financial situation] against the information the company provided to its lenders and local tax authorities to assess whether it fraudulently misled them.
In addition to the criminal probe, Trump was also sued this week by two Capitol Police officers, who battled the angry mob that the former president was accused of 'inciting' on January 6.
Trump also faces multiple defamation suits — including writer E. Jean Carroll's, who accused him of sexually assaulting her in Bergdorf Goodman in late 1995 or early 1996, only for him to deny her allegations and claim she was lying to drum up sales for a book.
Another, involving former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, has been given the green light to move forward after Trump's lawyers attempted to get it dismissed because he was the president.
Zervos came forward in the lead-up to the 2016 election, alleging that Trump groped and kissed her without her consent in 2007. In 2017, she sued him for defamation after he denied her allegations and called her story a 'hoax'.
