Nick Akerman, who served on the prosecution team during the 1970s Watergate investigation, told CNN he believed President Trump would likely face tax fraud charges upon leaving the White House.
Said Ackerman: “Tax avoidance is simply taking the tax code and getting the most deductions you can get under the code that is perfectly legal. Tax fraud, however, is lying about what your income was, lying about what your deductions are, and there’s a couple of items that just stand out in that report from the New York Times that really appear to go beyond tax avoidance.”
