Donald Trump has been known to boast about his net worth and his fortune. Most of it is just Trump being Trump, but a new report from The Washington Post says investigators are looking into whether “Trump’s familiar habit of bragging about his wealth ever crossed a line into fraud.” Reporters David Fahrenthold and Jonathan O’Connell write:
“When Donald Trump wanted to make a good impression — on a lender, a business partner, or a journalist — he sometimes sent them official-looking documents called “Statements of Financial Condition.”
The report goes on to say:
“But, for someone trying to get a true picture of Trump’s net worth, the documents were deeply flawed. Some simply omitted properties that carried big debts. Some assets were overvalued. And some key numbers were wrong.”
WAPO says, “The White House declined to comment for this report.”
