Trump Organization convicted of all 17 felony counts in tax fraud trial

A Manhattan jury convicted both Trump Corporation and Trump Payroll Corporation on all 17 felony counts, including scheme to defraud, conspiracy, criminal tax fraud, and falsifying business records. The convictions stemmed from a 15-year scheme to pay executives off-the-books compensation to evade taxes. While Trump himself was not charged, the verdict made the Trump Organization the first company of a former president to be convicted of crimes, establishing a foundation for the broader pattern of financial fraud that would be addressed in civil proceedings.
