Just months before he announced for President, Donald Trump's ailing Trump Taj Mahal casino was fined $10 million for participating in money laundering and the evidence of those violations is being sent to the Senate Intelligence Committee to determine if there is a link between the documented money laundering and Trump's Russian connections.

1.8%, or $65,000. Donald Trump picked option C. When the New Jersey Casino Control Commission charged him with fraud, they fined him $65,000, which is slightly less than 2% of the money he received. And that’s how he was able to receive a loan, tax and interest-free, in time to save his casino from foreclosure.
The Trump Organization has dismissed money laundering charges as unsubstantiated, and because it is so difficult to penetrate the shell companies that purchased these condos, it is almost.
That’s where “Section 311” comes in. In 2001, as part of the USA Patriot Act, the Treasury Department was given a new tool against money laundering, known as “Section 311,” after the.

As President Donald Trump seeks a second term in the White House, the final weeks of his campaign have seen him barnstorming throughout the country holding rally after rally in hopes of having four more years to Make America Great Again. Typically, an incumbent president running for reelection will point to a record of accomplishments from the first term as evidence of why he deserves a second. Trump, however, took a somewhat different strategy by attempting to discredit his opponent with a dodgy tale about a soggy laptop that 50 former intelligence officials have warned has all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.

It's no great revelation that the former Celebrity Apprentice star has long had a loose and somewhat adversarial relationship with the truth. According to the Washington Post, Trump is 'on track' to have made 25,000 'false or misleading claims' by election day; in fact, in the period leading up to the election he'd been averaging about 50 whoppers per day.

Meanwhile, there's a lot from Trump's past, both distant and recent, that he's hoping has slipped voters' minds. Read on to be reminded of all the things Donald Trump wants you to forget about.

Donald Trump's first wife's disturbing allegations

Back in his 1980s heyday, Donald Trump stood out in an era of conspicuous consumption and ostentatious displays of wealth by stamping his surname on buildings, airlines, casinos and whatever else struck his fancy. 'The Donald' and wife Ivana Trump, a Czech ex-model, projected the image of Manhattan power couple, especially when he bought the famed Plaza Hotel and placed her in charge of running it.

The marriage didn't last. Donald's affair with actor Marla Maples led to a tabloid-worthy altercation on a ski hill and, eventually, an ugly divorce. According to a report in The New Yorker, author Harry Hurt III wound up with a copy of Ivana's divorce filing, which he detailed in his 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump. According to Hurt, Ivana accused her enraged husband of violently raping her in her deposition.

Donald's lawyers allegedly put the screws to the publisher attempting to have a 'clarifying statement' from Ivana included in the book's flyleaf. In the statement, she confirmed she used the word 'rape' in her deposition, before adding, 'I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.' As TheNew York Times reported, she received a $14-million divorce settlement.

Multiple bankruptcies are part of the Donald Trump story

Donald Trump is the first president in American history to have been married three times — and still have more bankruptcies than marriages. The first bankruptcy came in 1991, recalled Forbes, after financing his Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City with junk bonds and racking up $900 million in personal debt. The following year, reported CNN, Trump Castle Associates filed for bankruptcy, with this second bankruptcy involving NYC's Plaza Hotel, and Atlantic City's Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino and Trump Castle Casino Resort.

After more than a decade without a bankruptcy, Trump broke that streak when, as The Los Angeles Times reported in 2004, his Trump Hotel & Casino Resorts declared Chapter 11, involving more Atlantic City casinos and a riverboat in Indiana.

Then, in 2009 Trump filed for a fourth time when another company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, was unable to make a $53.1 million bond payment. While his name remained on the three casinos involved in this bankruptcy, he resigned from the board and gave up his remaining stake in the company, effectively pushing him out of the casino business in Atlantic City. Meanwhile, as CNN noted, the casinos that still bore the 'Trump' moniker filed for bankruptcy in 2014, although by that point Trump himself was only licensing his name to the properties and had no ownership stake or other involvement.

Donald Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein

Mysterious billionaire Jeffrey Epstein died in a jail cell in 2019, reportedly by suicide, after being arrested and charged with trafficking minors. The convicted pedophile's associations with such powerful figures as Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton raised eyebrows, as did the nicknames for his private jet ('the Lolita Express') and his secluded Caribbean island, dubbed 'Pedophile Island' by locals.

Donald Trump would prefer everyone forget about his long history with Epstein. In 2019, NBC released video footage from 1992 of the pair ogling young women while partying at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. In a 2002 profile for New York magazine, Trump gushed, 'I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.'

During a 2020 press conference, Trump offered a weird response when asked if he thought Epstein's alleged accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell would 'turn in powerful men' after her arrest on charges of trafficking minors. 'I don't know — I haven't really been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly,' Trump said, adding, 'I wish her well, whatever it is.'

The comments Donald Trump made in the Access Hollywood tape

Less than a month before the 2016 presidential election, the Washington Postunearthed a video taken while Donald Trump was being interviewed by Access Hollywood's Billy Bush in 2005. Wearing his mic but apparently believing it had been turned off, Trump explains to Bush that when he sees 'beautiful' women, 'I just start kissing them.. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it.. Whatever you want. Grab 'em by the p***y. You can do anything.'

Outrage ensued, and Trump issued a video on Twitter that included a halfhearted apology but was actually an attack on opponent Hillary Clinton. 'I said it, I was wrong and I apologize,' said Trump before pivoting. 'I've said some foolish things, but there's a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed, and intimidated his victims.'

In a subsequent presidential debate, moderator Anderson Cooper told Trump, 'You bragged that you have sexually assaulted women. Do you understand that?' Trump replied, 'No, I didn't say that at all. I don't think you understood.. this was locker room talk.'

Vladimir Putin's word is good as gold to Donald Trump

America's intelligence community has continually warned that Russian interference took place during the 2016 presidential election. Despite even greater warnings, and a 2020 Senate report that described ongoing Russian meddling in America's elections as 'grave,' Donald Trump's public behavior with Russian President Vladimir Putin has been puzzling, to say the least.

Case in point: when Trump met with Putin in Helsinki, FInland, during a 2018 summit between the two countries, Trump took the Russian president (and former KGB spy) at his word when he claimed Russia didn't interfere in the 2016 election. 'President Putin says it's not Russia. I don't see any reason
