    After what has seemed like an awfully long four years, we are just days away from the end of Donald Trump’s term as president.

    The majority of South Africans will be looking forward to that moment (except for this guy, who is in dire need of anger management classes), and the inauguration of a man who won’t incite an insurrection attempt with his rhetoric.

    It’s expected that Trump will head to Florida once he exits the White House, choosing the MAGA stronghold over New York, where he is immensely unpopular.

    There’s also the fact that New York City prosecutors are investigating Trump’s company for possible tax, bank, and insurance fraud.

    Included in that investigation is a sprawling property in Westchester County, called Seven Springs, located about an hour’s drive from the city.

    Before we get to the latest on that investigation, here’s more on Seven Springs, from a 2014 Forbes article:

    Trump bought the 230-acre property, which straddles three Westchester towns, in 1996 for the $7.5 million. He spent nine years trying to get approval to develop a world-class, 18-hole golf course, a plan vigorously protested by the residents of the surrounding towns (Bedford, New Castle, and North Castle) over concerns it would draw excessive traffic and pollute adjacent Byram Lake, which provides drinking water to nearby Mount Kisco.

    Ultimately, Trump gave up on the golf course. Last year, after a long battle with residents and the towns, he finally received approval to subdivide the property and build up to 14 homes.

    In that same year, the Trump family allowed cameras inside the 50 000-square-foot home on the property, with Eric, the least-loved son of the Trump spawn (excluding Barron, who hasn’t yet been forced to publicly defend his father), leading the way.

    Here’s that video tour:

    That’s the Trump family, there, who really understand the plight of the working-class American.

    You can read more on the property here, but let’s talk more about the investigation.

    Prosecutors have now broadened their investigation to include Seven Springs, with the town of Bedford hit with a subpoena focusing on the development of the property.

    More from Bloomberg:

    Prosecutors “wanted a lot of documents regarding this development,” Joel Sachs, a lawyer for Bedford, said in a phone interview. He noted that his client has provided the records on the development, which spans all three towns.

    The subpoenas cover tax assessments, email correspondence, planning-board materials and other documents about the property…

    The New York Times reported that in 2014, Trump classified Seven Springs as an investment property, which allows for certain tax benefits, instead of a personal residence. The Trump Organisation website says the estate is used as a retreat for the Trump family.

    Investigators are also looking into whether or not Trump’s company falsely reported the value of the property, in order to secure loans or tax benefits, which is a claim made by his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.

    As embarrassed as Cohen should be by his years of dirty work for Trump, at least Rudy Giuliani is making him look like a seasoned pro.

    Two more days, possibly 100 presidential pardons, and an Oval Office in dire need of a deep clean.
