President Donald Trump could be facing legal issues in regard to the family’s Westchester estate known as Seven Springs.
The investigation surrounds a conservation easement donation of 158 acres to a land trust valued at $21 million in 2021. This may have allowed the Trump Organization to take a tax deduction, which was based on the property’s value.
That would have made the tax deduction larger then what it should have been.
News 12’s Scott McGree broke the story late Friday and now News 12 has confirmed with the Town of North Castle that they’ve given the Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance financial documents about Seven Springs.
The documents include planning board files, emails and any correspondence between the town of North Castle and the Trump organization.
The 212-acre property actually is part of three different towns and was bought by the president in the mid-1990s for $7.5 million.
Investigators have been halted to the issue because Trump has been president of the United States, which allows him to delay and/or postpone lawsuits and investigations about him.
