Trump Tower Hicksville: Why is the Trump campaign sending rent checks to a Long Island P.O. box? Are there any tax fraud attorneys available to investigate this red flag? https://www.salon.com/2020/09/25/trump-tower-hicksville-why-is-the-trump-campaign-sending-rent-checks-to-a-long-island-po-box/">https://www.salon.com/2020/09/2...
Exactly how much space the campaign actually uses in the landmark Fifth Avenue building is unclear. FEC filings show that the rent started around $35,000 a month, then jumped over the $100,000 mark after Trump won the 2016 Republican nomination https://www.salon.com/2020/09/25/trump-tower-hicksville-why-is-the-trump-campaign-sending-rent-checks-to-a-long-island-po-box/">https://www.salon.com/2020/09/2...
While the campaign& #39;s payments go to Trump Tower Commercial LLC, the business behind TT (ultimately Trump himself) don& #39;t always go to Trump Tower. FEC records show most checks were sent to P.O. Box 1926 in Hicksville, Nassau County, Long Island. https://www.salon.com/2020/09/25/trump-tower-hicksville-why-is-the-trump-campaign-sending-rent-checks-to-a-long-island-po-box/">https://www.salon.com/2020/09/2...
In the early days of the campaign, however, it wasn& #39;t just rent — some of the Trump campaign& #39;s payroll also went through Trump Tower Commercial LLC, but apparently to a certain type of employee. https://www.salon.com/2020/09/25/trump-tower-hicksville-why-is-the-trump-campaign-sending-rent-checks-to-a-long-island-po-box/">https://www.salon.com/2020/09/2...
FEC filings show 2020 was an exceptional year for the destination of Trump campaign rent checks. In 2015-2017, all rent checks went to the Hicksville address. They stopped after Sept 2017, but resumed in 2018, the year after the GOP-Trump Taxscam passed. https://www.salon.com/2020/09/25/trump-tower-hicksville-why-is-the-trump-campaign-sending-rent-checks-to-a-long-island-po-box/">https://www.salon.com/2020/09/2...
The pattern grew even more erratic in 2020. This year, public filings show, the campaign has so far sent six of its eight rent checks to Hicksville — the two outliers being April and May, when the coronavirus ravaged NY and the checks went to Trump Tower. https://www.salon.com/2020/09/25/trump-tower-hicksville-why-is-the-trump-campaign-sending-rent-checks-to-a-long-island-po-box/">https://www.salon.com/2020/09/2...
Interviews with state income tax and commercial property tax experts familiar with New York city and state yielded bafflement: Comments included, "Totally bizarre," "No idea," "I& #39;ve never seen something like that" and "Holy shit, that& #39;s absolutely weird." https://www.salon.com/2020/09/25/trump-tower-hicksville-why-is-the-trump-campaign-sending-rent-checks-to-a-long-island-po-box/">https://www.salon.com/2020/09/2...
Vance& #39;s announcement this week that his office is investigating Trump for criminal tax fraud and misrepresenting business records might throw the Hicksville mystery in a new light. @MingGao26 https://www.salon.com/2020/09/25/trump-tower-hicksville-why-is-the-trump-campaign-sending-rent-checks-to-a-long-island-po-box/">https://www.salon.com/2020/09/2...
