Jurors in Trump Organization tax fraud trial set to begin deliberations

Prosecutors say former president knew of and sanctioned alleged scheme that enriched executives with off-the-books benefits

Jurors in New York were on Monday set to deliberate their verdict in the trial of the Trump Organization, accused of running a criminal tax fraud scheme enriching executives with off-the-books benefits including property and luxury vehicles.

While Donald Trump himself is not on trial, prosecutors have said the former president knew of - and sanctioned almost every aspect of - the fraud, as head of the eponymous company handling his real estate and other dealings.
