If paperwork for those transactions are somehow falsified in a manner that forms the basis for fraudulent tax or stock valuations, that might be a criminal matter (although in most cases it would likely be handled civilly if restitution is offered).

Fox News reporter Jake Gibson, who was in the courtroom, said that prosecutors had asked for the January 2024 trial date. The Iowa caucuses — the first contest in the Republican primary — will be on February 5, 2024.
