曼哈顿的一个特别大陪审团投票起诉前总统特朗普总统的知情人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，同名公司及其首席财务官艾伦·魏斯伯格。
消息人士说，起诉书中的指控预计将于周四下午公布，届时魏斯伯格和特朗普组织的一名代表将出庭。
消息人士称，韦斯伯格和该公司预计将面临税务欺诈指控。这将是曼哈顿地区检察官办公室的检察官继他们的两年的调查前总统和他的公司。
特朗普组织的一名发言人拒绝置评，曼哈顿地区检察官办公室的一名发言人也拒绝置评。
消息人士称，预计的指控尚未公开披露，据信涉及给员工的附加福利，包括魏斯伯格。调查人员，一路奋战到美国最高法院消息人士称，为了获得这位前总统的个人和企业纳税申报表，他们一直在调查该公司和魏斯伯格是否恰当地说明了这些形式的补偿。

美国广播公司新闻先前报告在维斯伯格的儿媳珍妮弗透露了她分居的丈夫维斯伯格的儿子巴里使用的免租金公寓的存在后，检察官们开始关注这些津贴。
消息人士称，前总统公司的律师被告知，曼哈顿地区检察官Cy Vance的工作人员将于上周提出指控。
“在我50多年的执业生涯中，我从未见过地区检察官办公室因员工薪酬或附加福利而将公司作为目标，”前总统特朗普的律师罗纳德·菲什切蒂(Ronald Fishchetti)上周在一份声明中对美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)表示。他补充说，在他看来，这一案件“完全令人愤慨”。
特朗普本人预计不会参与这些刑事指控。他否认了所有的不当行为，并以政治动机为由驳回了调查，称之为“美国历史上最大的政治迫害的延续”。
Grand jury votes to indict Trump's company and CFO: Sources
A special grand jury in Manhattan has voted to indict formerPresident Trump'snamesake firm and its chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
The charges contained in the indictment are expected to be unsealed Thursday afternoon, the sources said, when Weisselberg and a representative of the Trump Organization are due to appear in court.
Weisselberg and the company are expected to face charges of tax fraud, sources said. The charges would be the first brought by prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office following theirtwo-year investigationof the former president and his company.
A Trump Organization spokesperson declined to comment, as did a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
The expected charges, which have not been publicly disclosed, are believed to involve fringe benefits given to employees, including Weisselberg, the sources said. Investigators, who fought all the way to theU.S. Supreme Courtfor access to the former president's personal and business tax returns, have been examining whether the company and Weisselberg properly accounted for those forms of compensation, said sources.
ABC News haspreviously reportedthat prosecutors zeroed in on the perks after Weisselberg's daughter-in-law Jennifer revealed the existence of a rent-free apartment used by her estranged husband, Weisselberg's son Barry.
Attorneys for the former president's company were told to expect charges last week by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance's staff, the sources said.
"In my more than 50 years of practice, never before have I seen the District Attorney's Office target a company over employee compensation or fringe benefits," Ronald Fishchetti, an attorney for former President Trump, told ABC News in a statement last week, adding the case in his view is "completely outrageous."
Trump himself is not expected to be part of these criminal charges. He has denied all wrongdoing and has dismissed the investigation as being politically motivated, calling it "a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in American history."
