 According to a lengthy new analysis of Donald Trump's tax records, the former president appears to have written off losses for his Chicago skyscraper in two separate tax years, meaning that he was double-dipping on tax breaks. If this audit is correct, that means that Trump scammed the government out of roughly $100 million that he could be forced to pay back once the IRS has finished with him.

Also, Donald Trump no longer has to violate the gag order against him because his family and friends are doing it for him. This week, both Eric Trump and Donald Junior appeared to violate the gag order by attacking witnesses and the family of the judge, respectively. Eric's might be a little bit more severe considering the fact that he actually attacked the witness - Michael Cohen - while posting on social media from inside the courtroom.

And  people on social media were frantically alerting the Secret Service this week after one of Donald Trump's aides revealed that he likes to get innocent people arrested. The aide, Johnny McEntee, boasted on a podcast of handing out fake money to homeless people who will then use the money to buy things and get busted for using counterfeit money. If his story is true, then this constitutes a crime under US Code.

Finally, Michael Cohen dropped a lot of bombshells during his testimony in the early part of this week, but one item that really stuck out the most doesn't even have relevance to the case. According to Cohen, it was Melania Trump's idea to spin the Access Hollywood tape as "locker room talk," showing that Melania is just as big of a scumbag as the rest of the Trump family. She also doesn't seem to realize that this was her husband admitting that he cheats on her all the time, or at least she didn't seem to care.
