It seems that all of Ivankaโ€™s attempts to distance herself from her father following his embarrassing departure from the White House may all be for nothing as MSNBCโ€™s Rachel Maddow covers a bombshell report from The Washington Post, revealing that Donaldโ€™s precious daughter may now be in hot water she canโ€™t get out of thanks to a scheme her daddy allegedly pulled involving her apartment.

WaPo reported that New York Attorney General Letitia James has officially subpoenaed records in relation to Trumpโ€™s Washington DC hotel from the federal government with the allegation that the now ex-president inflated the value of his daughterโ€™s apartment for the purpose of obtaining a lease for the Trump International Hotel.

โ€œLetitia Jamesโ€™ investigation is reportedly looking into whether Trump got the lease on that property through fraud โ€” whether the Trump Organization lied about his assets in order to obtain the lease for the property and the loans they used to pay for it,โ€ Maddow reports on the bombshell news.

โ€œWe know from documents that were filed by Attorney General James last month that it was Trumpโ€™s adult daughter, Ivanka Trump, who โ€” according to the attorney general โ€” negotiated the lease for that hotel with the federal government and negotiated a loan from Deutsche Bank to pay for it,โ€ the MSNBC host went on to add. โ€œTish James is arguing that the means by which the Trump Organization described their own financial condition in order to get the lease and the loan were both fraudulent. Hereโ€™s one example.โ€

Maddow then went on to explain that the Trump Organization submitted a statement of assets in an effort to secure the lease and loan for the DC hotel. In that statement, they included a list of apartments the company owned and their values, which included the NYC Park Avenue pad that Donaldโ€™s eldest daughter Ivanka was renting from her fatherโ€™s company at the time.

โ€œUnder her rental agreement, she apparently had the option to buy that apartment if she wanted to, for the cost of $8.5 million,โ€ Maddow stated. โ€œBut in the forms that were submitted to get the loans for the DC hotel, that very same apartment was listed as being worth more than $20 million. Then a few years later, they listed it as being worth $25 million โ€” even though they knew there was an option to buy it for just $8.5 million.โ€

โ€œAttorney General James is looking into exactly that type of potentially illegally inflation of the Trump family and Trump Organizationโ€™s financial situation for a whole bunch of Trump properties,โ€ the MSNBC host explained. โ€œThanks to the Washington Post, we now know that the attorney generalโ€™s investigation has subpoenaed the federal government about Trumpโ€™s deal for that property in DC as well.โ€

โ€œSo yeah, if I were the former president, I donโ€™t know if Iโ€™d be calling for my supporters to riot if I were indicted in this investigation, but I might be concerned.โ€

To say she hit the nail on the head would be an understatement.
