Real Estate News: U.S. Justice Department Now Owns Appartment in Trump Tower
“Former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort told prosecutors he preferred that they seize his apartment in Trump Tower rather than surrender one of the four bank accounts special counsel Robert Mueller's team was eyeing, Manafort's plea agreement revealed Friday. President Donald Trump's own New York residence is in that landmark Fifth Avenue building.”
Now, now. Wasn't the "Secret Service" (what exactly is so "secret" about it, anyway?) forced to rent an apartment at a usurious rate so as to maintain a presence when Trump visits home? Maybe they can use it and save a few taxpayer dollars.
Also I'm really curious with respect to all of those "choice" properties that Manafort is supposed to be giving up. Does anyone really believe that he has a whole lot of personal equity in those places? More than likely they're all mortgaged to the hilt.
If the U.S. Deptment of Justice own this thing, that means each and every one of us (as citizens) owns a little piece. Think I’ll stroll by next time I’m in NY and feast my eyes.
