Trump said in a brief interview that the indictment was “a terrible thing for our country, and people are very angry about it.” Trump did not respond directly to a question about whether his company has systematically avoided its tax burdens, as it stands accused of doing. — PolitiTweet.org

Fallout from the prosecution of Trump's company could be significant. An indictment against a company — let alone a conviction — can jeopardize relationships with banks and business partners. @Jonesieman @WRashbaum @benprotess @maggieNYT https://t.co/dmtFjZXb4j — PolitiTweet.org

The indictment is expected to be unsealed tomorrow after Weisselberg and lawyers for the Trump Organization appear in court. The indictment will amplify the pressure that prosecutors have placed on Weisselberg to turn on Trump and cooperate with their investigation. — PolitiTweet.org
