We’re willing to bet that disgraced former president Donald Trump was already having quite the bad day today after a new straw poll reportedly showed far more Republican support for Florida governor Ron DeSantis as the party’s presidential candidate than himself. But if he thought that would be the worst of it for the day, he certainly thought wrong.
According to a breaking new report from the Wall Street Journal prosecutors with the city of New York, where one of the two criminal investigations against the ex-president and his organization is going down, have now expanded their investigation to include Donald’s former bodyguard turned COO for potentially illegal “tax-free perks.”
The bombshell new report claims that Matthew Calamari has recently obtained his own attorney in connection to the investigation, as prosecutors look into whether he received perks such as free apartments, subsidized rent, or car leases without paying taxes on the luxuries while he was working for the real estate “mogul” turned shameful former president.
Calamari has worked for Donald Trump in some capacity for 40 years, starting out as the reality tv washup’s bodyguard, only to work his way up to the position of Chief Operating Officer for Trump’s organization.

Neither Calamari nor his son Matthew Calamari Jr, who serves as the corporate director of security for the Trump Organization, have been accused of any wrongdoing thus far.
The WSJ report goes on to note that the eldest Calamari has resided in an apartment at Trump Park Avenue in the Upper East Side for several years as well as drives a Mercedes that is leased through the Trump Organization. His son lives in Trump Parc East.
The involvement of the Calamari’s is less so personal and more so one leg of a wide-ranging probe into whether or not the Trump Organization knowingly overvalued assets in an effort to reap various tax and financial benefits.
