An atypical place

The mansion
In the courage of the property finds the mansion constructed as verano refuge in 1919 by Eugene Meyer, who was elected President of the EE.UU Federal Reserve. y dueño de The Washington Post. In 2006, while impulsive of a plan to build livelihoods in the property, Trump circulated the idea that he and his family would mourn the death, but there was no cure.
Al estrenarse, la vivienda de 2,631 metro lines account for more than a dozen homework, an indoor pool, a bowling alley and a tennis court. In 1940, the wife of Meyer, Katharine Graham, editor-in-chief of the Washington Post, appeared in Seven Springs.

In his autobiography Historia personal, Katharine describes her ambivalent emotions in the past: “Cuanto burgemeester me hacía, más me disgustaba the solitude of the finca, but in the days of my childhood, as I wrote to my father when I was ten years old, ‘a magnificent ancient antique’“.
Eugene Meyer is only 285 acres to date. A philanthropic foundation created by Agnes and his wife, Agnes, donated 100 acres to The Nature Conservancy and the rest of the lands and edifices that formed Seven Springs at the Yale University in 1973, following Agnes’ death.
The volunteer position to change hands since the founding of the Yale Recovery Foundation and the former Rockefeller University Residential Center will be located in front of the conference center. if the sale to Trump.

In 2009, Trump caused the sensation to allow the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi mount your campaign tent Bedouin style land in Seven Springs, north of New York City, because it has no other place to stay during a visit to the ONU.
At the earliest moment, Trump has stated that he does not believe that he has been involved with Gaddafi, but that he should be admitted later. “gano mucho dinero” alquilándole el sitio al líder libio. Local authorities will finally destroy the carp and Gaddafi carpets by not allocating them to them.
The fraud
With its frustrating development plans, the high ex-president opted for a strategy that would allow the preservation of property through reduce your taxes. Provided assistance with a soil conservation fund to preserve 60 acres of land and adult forests.
Obtuvo a deduction of 21 million dollars in the tax on rent, equivalent to the value of the land preserved, including property registers and tribunals.

“It is not necessary to declare that the general tax law requires records that deberían reflect the value of the deduction applied, that derivative has intermediate entities and, in the last instance, hacia el señor Trump, personally. “
If you leave a message in the comments of Trump’s spokesperson. The former Republican descalified in the past these investigations as part of a “bras case”.
The costume of manipulating the values
Seven Springs, a prisoner of Michael Cohen’s investigating officers, during Trump’s long term of office as attorney general, will convene a congressional committee in 2019 to appoint Trump manipulate the values of the properties, inflation in some cases and minimize in other to access favorable terms and fiscal benefits.

I will also mention that their statements, from 2011, 2012 and 2013, were made by Trump that he was interviewed by his main protégé, Deutsche Bank, in order to solicit information about a preamble to end the professional American football team Buffalo Bills of the NFL and assimilate to the Forbes review to base its pretense of appearing on the list of the richest people in the world.

The team of investigators has not determined whether or not it has been infringed.
Vance Jr., who, while prosecuting James as a Democrat, did not reveal much about his criminal investigation, as part of a lawsuit over large-scale secrecy. Through legal documents, the Vance Jr. case, the manifesto is central to informing the public about ‘extending and extending criminal conduct in the Trump Organization’.
The documents presented in connection with the criminal investigation — supported by a sentencing of the Supreme Court of the United States that were passed on to Vance Jr. access to Trump tax records— abarcan ‘n Seven Springs between the possible objectives.
Además de la gran mansion, Seven Springs comprende a Tudor style house which at the moment is the property of the magnate of the ketchup HJ Heinz, and the most popular car cases that Trump’s adult Donald, Jr. had. and Eric, he said he had a “base of operations” when he visited the finch to make him send and drive all-terrain vehicles.
During his presidency, Trump’s proposal opted for mayoral profiles like the Bedminster Golf Camp, in the New Jersey state, and his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, where he lives since the White House.
