Corrupt Carlos and His Family’s Effort to Sell Additional Golf Course to Trump Faced Ethics Investigation
Donald Trump’s purchase and efforts to purchase golf courses in South Florida from Corrupt Carlos Giménez has come under new scrutiny after a New York Times article detailed how Trump effectively used golf courses to avoid paying taxes.
The explosive report painted a picture of the many ways Trump avoided paying taxes, including pointing to losses at his mismanaged golf courses as justification.
As a reminder: Corrupt Carlos’s son was a hired lobbyist for Trump Doral – the golf course the New York Times reported Trump used to write off $162.3 million in losses and to rack up $125 million in debt. On top of that, Corrupt Carlos and Donald Trump faced an ethics investigation over allegations that President Trump illegally lobbied Corrupt Carlos to sell him the County-owned Crandon Golf Course while the two cronies were golfing together.
“Corrupt Carlos Giménez and his lobbyist son have made sure Donald Trump could avoid paying taxes by engaging in ethically dubious practices to take advantage of South Florida,” said DCCC Spokesperson Sarah Guggenheimer. “This new report makes startlingly clear that Donald Trump has and will always do whatever he can to help himself, and that Corrupt Carlos will always stand right alongside him as he does.”
