Tax Fraud
In December 2022, a New York jury convicted Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp, owned by a former US president, in tax fraud.
The court then fined the organization $1.6 million for tax evasion. It is specified that fines for 15 years of tax fraud will be paid to Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp, part of the Trump Organization. As noted by CNN, this is the maximum possible fine under the law.
Commenting on the court decision, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg expressed the hope that lawmakers will increase penalties for companies that violate the law.

“Infringement on free elections”
According to Trump, the accusations against him are an attack by the left on the United States and an encroachment on “once free and fair elections” in the country.
