How Trump and Christie Colluded to Steal $25 Million From NJ Taxpayers
“Even more galling is that this pennies-on-the-dollar settlement came at a time when the Christie administration has relentlessly pursued collecting debts of dead college students, and instituted aggressive new screening procedures that have kept over $300 million in Earned Income Tax Credit payments out of the hands of tens of thousands of working poor New Jerseyans, ” Whiten said.
Donald Trump casinos were nearly $30 million behind on tax payments to the State of New Jersey while the now-GOP presidential nominee was still running Trump Entertainment Resorts, says a new report that broke on Tuesday. Christie took office in the beginning of 2010, and just under two years later, Trump’s casinos and the state settled for $5 million.
A week after the settlement was signed, Mr. Christie announced that he was appointing Ms. Dow to the counsel’s office of the Port Authority of NY and New Jersey until he could find her the judgeship that she desired.
Mr. Moore declined to release the titles of officials who approved the settlement, except to say it was agreed to by officials from both the attorney general’s office and the State Division of Taxation.
According to the Times, public records are unclear on how the settlement agreement was reached. New Jersey implemented AMT in 2002. The report also mentioned about Trump making large donations to a nonprofit that maintains the governor’s residence and to the Republican Governors Association.
Brian Murray who is a spokesman for the governor’s Christie said the deal was a part of the bankruptcy case that started in 2005 when Christie served as New Jersey’s US attorney.
Chris Christie signed a bill prohibiting the state’s pension and annuity funds from investing in companies that boycott Israel or Israeli businesses.
Save for the few months when Chris Christie was running against Donald Trump, the two have had a notoriously close relationship-many were surprised when Trump did not pick Christie as his vice presidential running mate. Christie and his big mom trousers are now top advisers to the Trump campaign, which as we all know is a false-flag operation to drumpf up publicity for the Trump TV media empire, meaning we may see Christie in the barber’s chair at Wrestlemania 2018.
At least 12 states have passed anti-BDS legislation, and 21 have taken up such measures.
Christie, who is a former prosecutor, and Trump were introduced to each other by the businessman’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry in 2002.
