Oh boy, someone is going to throw a fit.

Former President Donald Trump hasn’t been doing very well lately with the sprawling investigation into the deadly Jan. 6 committee asking telecommunications companies to retain phone records involving the Trump White House on January 6th — as well as the phone records of a group of Republican members of Congress. And now, things just got worse for the twice-impeached one-term president as two Trump organization employees are set to testify before a grand jury this week regarding the “criminal probe into Donald Trump’s business affairs,” according to the Wall Street Journal.

“Matthew Calamari Jr, the Trump Organization’s corporate director of security and the son of the company’s chief operating officer, was served a subpoena for his testimony this week, the people said. Prosecutors have examined an apartment Mr. Calamari received from the Trump Organization and how he reported that apartment on his taxes, the people said,” the outlet reports.

“Jeffrey McConney, a senior finance official at the Trump Organization, is also expected to go before the grand jury again this week, the people familiar with the matter said,” the report continues. “Mr. McConney, who previously testified before the grand jury prior to the indictments of the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer earlier this summer, prepared the personal tax returns of Matthew Calamari Sr., people familiar with the matter said.”

Matthew Calamari, who is subpoenaed, is Matthew Jr., the Trump Organization’s corporate director of security and the son of the company’s chief operating officer. It gets confusing.

“Mr. Calamari Jr.’s testimony before the grand jury would grant him immunity on the subjects about which he testifies and signals prosecutors don’t plan to indict him,” the report states. “Prosecutors continue to investigate whether the elder Mr. Calamari received tax-free fringe benefits and to determine whether his cooperation would be helpful to them, according to people familiar with the matter.”

The elder Calamari obtained an attorney recently as prosecutors look into whether he received perks things such as free apartments, subsidized rent, or car leases without paying taxes on the luxuries while he was working for Donald J. Trump.

Everything will come out in the wash, and Donald must be aware of that. Tick tock, Mr. Trump.
