D.A. Bragg Announces 34-Count Felony Trial Conviction of Donald J. Trump

 

Jury Finds the Defendant Guilty of 34 Counts of Falsifying Business Records

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. announced the all-count trial conviction of DONALD J. TRUMP, 77, for falsifying New York business records in order to conceal his illegal scheme to corrupt the 2016 election. TRUMP was convicted by a New York State Supreme Court jury of 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree. He is expected to be sentenced on July 11.

“Donald Trump is guilty of repeatedly and fraudulently falsifying business records in a scheme to conceal damaging information from American voters during the 2016 presidential election. Over the course of the past several weeks, a jury of 12 every day New Yorkers was presented with overwhelming evidence – including invoices, checks, bank statements, audio recordings, phone logs, text messages, and direct testimony from 22 witnesses – that proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Trump illegally falsified 34 New York business records. Mr. Trump went to illegal lengths to lie repeatedly in order to protect himself and his campaign. In Manhattan, we follow the facts without fear or favor and have a solemn responsibility to ensure equal justice under the law regardless of the background, wealth or power of the accused. The integrity of our judicial system depends on upholding that principle,” said District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

As proven at trial, TRUMP engaged in a scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election and went to extraordinary and illegal lengths to hide this conduct from the American voters and public, illegally causing dozens of false entries to be made in New York business records of his Manhattan-based company to conceal attempts to violate state election law.

The genesis of the scheme was a 2015 meeting at Trump Tower where an agreement was hatched between TRUMP, his former attorney Michael Cohen, and David Pecker, the CEO of American Media Inc. (“AMI”). TRUMP, David Pecker and Michael Cohen agreed that AMI would prevent damaging information about TRUMP from becoming public. AMI, which owned the National Enquirer, purchased stories as part of a “catch and kill” strategy in order to protect TRUMP. 

In one instance, American Media Inc. paid $30,000 to a former Trump Tower doorman, who claimed to have a story about a child TRUMP had out of wedlock. 

In a second instance, AMI paid $150,000 to a woman who alleged she had a sexual relationship with TRUMP.

In the weeks before the election, a video from the TV show Access Hollywood became public in which TRUMP was recorded on a hot mic saying in part, “You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women, I just start kissing them, it’s like a magnet, just kiss, I don’t even wait, when you are a star they let you do it, you can do anything, grab them by the p****, you can do anything.”

The following day, the Editor-in-Chief of the National Enquirer informed Michael Cohen that the adult-film actress Stormy Daniels was planning to come forward about a sexual encounter she had with TRUMP.

Cohen and TRUMP, knowing how devasting Daniels’ story would be to the campaign, agreed to buy her story to defraud the voting public and prevent them from learning the information before Election Day. Cohen, with the approval of TRUMP, set up a shell company called Essential Consultants, LLC and wired $130,000 to Keith Davidson, the attorney for Stormy Daniels. Cohen used false information and records to disguise the true nature of the shell company. Phone records shown at trial and testimony from witnesses proved that TRUMP was in the loop every step of the way.

After winning the election, TRUMP reimbursed Cohen through a series of monthly checks, first from the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust – created in New York to hold the Trump Organization’s assets during TRUMP’s presidency – and later from TRUMP’s bank account. In total, 11 checks were issued for a phony purpose. Each check was processed by the Trump Organization and illegally disguised as a payment for legal services rendered pursuant to a non-existent retainer agreement. In total, 34 false entries were made in New York business records to conceal the initial covert $130,000 payment. Cohen was paid $420,000 in total so he would be made whole on the payment, which was being disguised as income and therefore would be taxed.

Assistant D.A.s Matthew Colangelo, Christopher Conroy, Katherine Ellis, Susan Hoffinger, Becky Mangold and Joshua Steinglass are handling the prosecution of this case, with the assistance of Steven Wu (Chief of the Appeals Division), Alan Gadlin (Deputy Chief of the Appeals Division) and Assistant D.A.’s Philip Tisne, John Hughes, and Caroline Williamson. Paralegals Georgia Longstreet, Jaden Jarmel-Schneider, and Nishant Bhaumik also provided assistance.

D.A. Bragg thanked the members of the NYPD and the Office of Court Administration for their professionalism and tireless efforts to maintain a safe environment throughout the duration of the trial.

Retired Navy Admiral and Business Executives Arrested for Bribery Scheme

 

A retired Navy Admiral and two business executives were arrested on criminal charges related to their roles in a bribery scheme that involved a U.S. government contract.

As alleged in an indictment unsealed, from 2020 to 2022, Robert Burke, 62, of Coconut Creek, Florida, was a four-star Admiral who oversaw Naval operations in Europe, Russia, and most of Africa, and commanded thousands of civilian and military personnel. Yongchul “Charlie” Kim and Meghan Messenger, both of New York, are the co-CEOs of a company (Company A) that provided a workforce training pilot program to a small component of the Navy from August 2018 through July 2019. The Navy terminated a contract with Company A in late 2019 and directed Company A not to contact Burke.

Despite the Navy’s instructions, Kim and Messenger then allegedly met with Burke in Washington, D.C., in July 2021 in an effort to reestablish Company A’s business relationship with the Navy. At the meeting, the charged defendants allegedly agreed that Burke would use his position as a Navy Admiral to steer a sole-source contract to Company A in exchange for future employment at the company. They allegedly further agreed that Burke would use his official position to influence other Navy officers to award another contract to Company A to train a large portion of the Navy with a value Kim allegedly estimated to be “triple digit millions.” 

In furtherance of the conspiracy, in December 2021, Burke allegedly ordered his staff to award a $355,000 contract to Company A to train personnel under Burke’s command in Italy and Spain. Company A performed the training in January 2022. Thereafter, Burke allegedly promoted Company A in a failed effort to convince a senior Navy Admiral to award another contract to Company A. To conceal the scheme, Burke allegedly made several false and misleading statements to the Navy, including by creating the false appearance that Burke played no role in issuing the contract and falsely implying that Company A’s employment discussions with Burke only began months after the contract was awarded. 

In October 2022, Burke began working at Company A at a yearly starting salary of $500,000 and a grant of 100,000 stock options. 

Burke, Kim, and Messenger are each charged with conspiracy to commit bribery and bribery. Burke is also charged with performing acts affecting a personal financial interest and concealing material facts from the United States. If convicted, Burke faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, and Kim and Messenger each face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

Graves for the District of Columbia; Deputy Director of Investigative Operations Grant A. Fleming of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS); Special Agent in Charge Stanley A. Newell of the DCIS Transnational Operations Field Office; Special Agent in Charge Greg Gross of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Economic Crimes Field Office; and Assistant Director Michael D. Nordwall of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division made the announcement.

DCIS, NCIS, and the FBI are investigating the case.

Trial Attorneys Trevor Wilmot and Kathryn E. Fifield of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Rothstein for the District of Columbia are prosecuting the case.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

MAYOR ADAMS ANNOUNCES TENTATIVE CONTRACT AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY, CIR-SEIU, AND NYC HEALTH + HOSPITALS TO BETTER PAY OVER 2,300 ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE WORKERS

 

Once Ratified, Agreement Will Deliver Wage Increases, Bonuses, Benefit Enhancements for Medical Interns and Residents  

 

Agreement Conforms to Pattern Established With DC 37, Numerous Additional Unions City Has Negotiated Contracts With  

 

Administration Has Negotiated Contracts with Unions Representing More Than 96 Percent of City’s Workforce — Quicker Than Any Mayoral Administration in Modern History 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Office of Labor Relations (OLR) Commissioner Renee Campion, and NYC Health + Hospitals President and CEO Dr. Mitchell Katz today announced a tentative five-year and six-month contract agreement with the Committee of Interns and Residents Service Employees International Union (CIR-SEIU) that will provide fair wage increases to more than 2,300 medical interns and residents who work for NYC Health + Hospitals, the largest municipal health care system in the nation.

The tentative agreement is retroactive — beginning on December 16, 2021 — and expires on June 15, 2027. The agreement includes compounded wage increases totaling 16.21 percent over the term of the contract and the starting salary for residents will go from the current $66,247 to $81,238 in December 2025. The agreement also includes lump sum payments, an adjustment to the resident salary schedule to help address recruitment and retention, and other benefit enhancements. In two-and-a-half years — and less than 16 months after negotiating its first contract — the Adams administration has successfully negotiated contracts with unions representing more than 96 percent of the city’s workforce and 100 percent of the city’s uniformed workforce — the quickest any mayoral administration has reached that milestone in modern city history. 

“Our hospital workers were on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic, risking their lives to save ours. The least they deserve is a fair wage for their work,” said Mayor Adams. “Today’s announcement will ensure 2,300 medical interns and residents receive the pay and benefits they deserve, while also helping our public hospitals recruit and retain talent so they can keep serving New Yorkers. Whether it’s medical residents, nurses, or teachers, our administration will always invest in the working-class people of New York City, and we are proud to achieve these crucial labor agreements in record-time.”

“This contract is a win-win for all parties involved,” said OLR Commissioner Campion. “It provides significant salary and benefit increases to our residents in recognition of the important care they provide to our fellow New Yorkers every day. It will also help NYC Health + Hospitals remain competitive in recruiting and retaining quality residents, and it is fiscally responsible and fair to the taxpayers of our city.”

“NYC Health + Hospitals is proud to provide an environment where residents can learn, train, and provide high-quality care to New Yorkers,” said Mitchell Katz, president and CEO, NYC Health + Hospitals, MD. “This contract supports everyone’s goals in continuing that effort, and I want to thank Commissioner Campion, the Office of Labor Relations, and the Office of Management and Budget for their work on this negotiation.”

The total cost of the tentative CIR-SEIU agreement through Fiscal Year 2028 is $211 million and it is fully funded within the city’s Labor Reserve.

The tentative agreement includes:

• Fair Wage Increases: 16.21 percent in compounded general wage increases.

• Lump Sum Payments: Lump sum payment of between $4,000 to $6,000 to residents, depending on their date of hire.

• Salary Schedule Adjustment: Effective May 16, 2024, the resident salary schedule will be adjusted by between $1,131 and $4,000. The $4,000 adjustment will be to the early salary steps in order to help address recruitment.

• Meal Payment Increase: The annual meal payment for residents will increase by $300 per year, from $3,500 to $3,800.

• Increased Fund Contributions: There will be significant contribution increases to various contractual funds, which pay additional compensation to residents and improve patient care.

• Labor-Management Committee: There will be continued Labor-Management discussions on various issues affecting the residents’ work and well-being.

The tentative agreement must be ratified by CIR-SEIU's membership.

The Adams administration has delivered fair wages and benefits to hundreds of thousands of municipal workers, many who went years without a wage increase. Following the pattern established by the agreement with District Council 37 (DC 37) in February 2023, the Adams administration continued to reach settlements with unions representing nearly all of the city’s workforce, including the United Federation of Teachers, the Communication Workers of America Local 1180, Teamsters Local 237, the Council of Supervisors and Administrators, and the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association, as well as with unions representing uniformed workers including the Police Benevolent Association, the Uniformed Officers Coalition, and the United Sanitation Workers’ Union Local 831, among dozens of others.

Earlier this month, Mayor Adams and NYC Health + Hospitals CEO Dr. Katz announced that more than 1,000 new union nurses have been hired over the past eight months at the city's public hospital system, replacing many temporary nurses. With these 1,000+ nurses, the NYC Health + Hospital system now has more than 9,600 full- and part-time nurses across the system.

Pharmacy Owner Sentenced for Paying Illegal Kickbacks and Engaging in a Money Laundering Conspiracy

 

A Texas pharmacy owner was sentenced to four years and four months in prison and ordered to pay over $59 million in restitution for paying illegal kickbacks and engaging in a money laundering conspiracy.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Richard Hall, 53, of Fort Worth, worked with others to create and market expensive compounded medications, which are intended to be custom-tailored to individual patient needs. Hall paid marketers to recruit area doctors to write prescriptions for these expensive compounded medications, including by creating so-called “investment opportunities” so that doctors who wrote prescriptions to the pharmacy could profit from the pharmacy operations. Hall paid illegal kickbacks to these marketers and engaged in a conspiracy to launder the unlawful proceeds.  

A federal jury in the Northern District of Texas convicted Hall in July 2023 of four counts of paying and receiving unlawful kickbacks and one count of conspiring to launder money.

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division; Special Agent in Charge Michael Mentavlos of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS); Special Agent in Charge Jason E. Meadows of the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) Dallas Regional Office; Special Agent in Charge Chad B. Yarbrough of the FBI Dallas Regional Office; Special Agent in Charge Casey Howard of the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General (DOL-OIG) Central Regional Office; and Special Agent in Charge Kris Raper of the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General (VA-OIG) South Central Field Office made the announcement.

The DCIS, HHS-OIG, FBI, DOL-OIG, and VA-OIG investigated the case.

Assistant Chiefs Kate Payerle and Brynn Schiess and Trial Attorneys Lee Michael Hirsch and Jacqueline DerOvanesian of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section prosecuted the case.

The Fraud Section leads the Criminal Division’s efforts to combat health care fraud through the Health Care Fraud Strike Force Program. Since March 2007, this program, currently comprised of nine strike forces operating in 27 federal districts, has charged more than 5,400 defendants who collectively have billed federal health care programs and private insurers more than $27 billion. In addition, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, working in conjunction with HHS-OIG, are taking steps to hold providers accountable for their involvement in health care fraud schemes.

Attorney General James Appoints New York City Public Health Advocate Tracie M. Gardner to Opioid Settlement Board

 

Gardner Brings Over Three Decades of Experience in Public Health and Health Equity to State Board that Helps Distribute Billions in Opioid Settlement Funds

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced her appointment of Tracie M. Gardner of Brooklyn, New York to the state’s Opioid Settlement Fund Advisory Board, which provides recommendations for how New York’s opioid settlement funds should be used in communities across the state. The board supports the distribution of more than $2.7 billion that Attorney General James has secured from opioid manufacturers and distributors, which is used for treatment, prevention, and abatement efforts. Gardner has more than three decades of experience in public health and public policy and is a nationally recognized expert on health and issues that disproportionately impact communities of color. Gardner is the Co-Director of the National Black Harm Reduction Network after concluding 24 years at the Legal Action Center, most recently serving as the Senior Vice President of Policy Advocacy.

“Tracie Gardner has spent her career bringing unique expertise to public health challenges, especially those that disproportionately impact communities of color,” said Attorney General James. “She is distinctly qualified to sit on the Opioid Settlement Fund Advisory Board to help steer critical investments in prevention, treatment, and recovery programs to the most vulnerable in our state. In this new role, Tracie will help oversee the distribution of more than $2.7 billion that my office secured from companies that fueled the opioid crisis, and I look forward to seeing leaders across the state continue to use these funds to support communities that are still struggling. New Yorkers have suffered great losses from the opioid epidemic, but I am confident that Tracie’s work with the board will help us turn the tide on this crisis and save lives.”

“As New Yorkers continue to endure the devastating impact of the opioid crisis, Black and Brown New Yorkers face higher barriers to access quality addiction treatment and recovery and harm reduction services,” said Tracie M. Gardner. “My work has always focused on tackling New York’s public health challenges in a way that is equitable, just, and inclusive, and I look forward to supporting the board’s mission of prioritizing these critically needed resources in communities of color that have been torn apart by the overdose crisis and the war on drugs. I am deeply grateful to Attorney General James for this appointment. Her tireless efforts to secure these settlement funds for our state have set a national precedent that makes me confident that we can turn the tide of this epidemic.” 

Since 2021, Attorney General James has secured over $2.7 billion from opioid manufacturers and distributors for their role in the opioid epidemic. These include Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Publicis Health, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson, Mallinckrodt, Allergan, Endo, McKesson, Cardinal Health, and Amerisource Bergen. Attorney General James has also led multistate coalitions in reaching settlements for billions of dollars with CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart for their roles in failing to properly regulate opioid prescriptions. Additionally, Attorney General James, co-led a coalition of nearly every attorney general in the nation in delivering more than $573 million – more than $32 million for New York state – toward opioid treatment and abatement in an agreement and consent judgment with McKinsey & Company.

The Opioid Settlement Fund Advisory Board was created in 2022 to make recommendations to the governor and state legislative leaders on how to allocate funds secured from opioid settlements or litigation victories. Under the 2021 law establishing the state’s opioid settlement fund, these funds will be allocated specifically for abatement efforts in communities devastated by the opioid epidemic and will be distributed to all 62 counties in New York state. Since its creation, the board has developed ten priority investment areas – with a focus on investing in removing barriers to treatment and addiction services in communities of color – to guide state allocations of settlement funds. 

The law also grants Attorney General James the authority to pick one individual to serve on the Opioid Settlement Fund Advisory Board, which makes recommendations to the state Legislature on how programs across the state will receive funds. Her previous appointment, Avi Israel, president and founder of Save the Michaels of the World, Inc. is stepping down from the board after three years of service.
