  • Make a Good Deal
    10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 1 CHAPTER 1 Make a Good Deal Finding the right location and lining up good lenders are some of the easier aspects to buying real estate. What’s tricky is negotiating a good deal. Patience is a virtue in the pursuit of getting what you want. But research, due diligence, planning, and flexibility are just as important. 1 10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 2 10938_Bergs_01.c.qxd 12/1/03 4:01 PM Page 3 hen it comes right down to it, the best advice for real estate Winvestors is to practice patience. Though there are many instances when it is necessary to act quickly, patience is a virtue even in situa- tions where time is of the essence. As one case in point, right after the dust cleared from Equity Office Properties’ initial public offering in 1997, the real estate investment trust’s chairman, Sam Zell, began planning a major expansion. Caught in his crosshairs was another real estate investment trust (REIT), Cornerstone Properties, which he wanted to own. Zell knew that although Cornerstone had managed to quickly grow its portfolio of properties, the New York–based REIT was smaller and would have trouble gaining access to the capital mar- kets. It took three years, but Zell finally snared his prey, buying the company for $4.6 billion. The key to this deal was persuading a Dutch pension fund, which owned about 30 percent of Cornerstone, to sell. Although Zell clearly coveted the company’s 15 million square feet of office space, much of which was located in the same cities where Equity Office Properties already had a presence, he took his time with the pension fund.

  • New Cohen Tape Surfaces a Bigger Trump Fish by Timothy L
    New Cohen Tape Surfaces a Bigger Trump Fish By Timothy L. O'Brien Bloomberg.com July 25, 2018 Allen Weisselberg knows far more than the president’s former lawyer. Michael Cohen is not the man who knows all of Trump’s secrets. Photographer: Drew Angerer/Getty Images About two months before Election Day in 2016, Donald Trump and his former lawyer (and self-described “fixer”) Michael Cohen were chatting about how to convince a former Playboy model, Karen McDougal, to keep quiet about what she described as a long-term affair with the presidential candidate. “We’ll have to pay,” Cohen said, according to a recording of the conversation that CNN obtained and broadcast Tuesday night. “Pay with cash,” Trump appears to respond. “No, no,” Cohen says. Earlier in the conversation Cohen suggested that he “open a company for the transfer of all of that info” to the National Enquirer and its parent company, American Media Inc. AMI’s chairman, David Pecker, is a friend of the president and he is also referred to on the tape. The Enquirer had already purchased McDougal’s account of her affair with Trump earlier in 2016 and then never published it. Trump and Cohen appear to be discussing a second payment to McDougal (and there is no indication that it was ever made). “I’ve spoken to Allen Weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up,” Cohen tells Trump. “So, I’m all over that. And, I spoke to Allen about it.” Weisselberg isn’t a bit player in Trumplandia and his emergence on the Cohen- Trump recording – as someone possibly facilitating a scheme apparently meant to disguise a payoff – should worry the president.

  • Letter to Eric Trump, Excutive Vice President of the Trump Organization
    May 7, 2020 Mr. Eric Trump Executive Vice President The Trump Organization 725 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10022 Dear Mr. Trump: The Emoluments Clauses of the United States Constitution are intended to promote the complete and undivided loyalty of the President to the American people.1 We are writing to request documents relating to requests by the Trump Organization—in which President Trump retains an ownership interest—for financial benefits from domestic and foreign government entities, including the United Kingdom, in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. As you know, Congress recently passed legislation prohibiting certain U.S. taxpayer funds from being used to benefit companies in which President Trump holds a stake, recognizing the obvious conflicts of interest inherent in such payments.2 On April 22, 2020, press reports indicated that after Congress took this step, the Trump Organization turned to foreign governments to seek financial assistance for the President’s companies.3 One day later, on April 23, 2020, you appeared to confirm these reports, stating that the President’s companies are now seeking financial assistance directly from the British government.4 The Trump Organization’s pursuit of funds from foreign governments follows a similar request by President Trump’s companies to the U.S. government.5 1 The Foreign Emoluments Clause—Article I, Section 9, clause 8 of the United States Constitution—bans the President and other high government officials from accepting any payment or benefit from a foreign state without the consent of Congress, while the Domestic Emoluments Clause—Article II, Section 1, Clause 7—bans the President from receiving any payments from federal or state governments in excess of his or her salary.

  • IN the SUPERIOR COURT of the DISTRICT of COLUMBIA Civil Division
    IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Civil Division DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Civil Action No.: 2020 CA 000488 B Plaintiff, Judge José López v. Next Event: Close of Discovery Date: March 9, 2021 58th PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL COMMITTEE, et al. Defendants. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA’S OPPOSED COMBINED MOTION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINES AND MOTION FOR LEAVE TO CONDUCT ADDITIONAL DEPOSITIONS Pursuant to SCR-Civil 16(b)(7), the District of Columbia (“District”), by its Office of the Attorney General, respectfully moves this Court to extend the District’s deadline to issue discovery requests by 30 days. Additionally, pursuant to SCR-Civil 30(a)(2)(A)(i), the District requests leave to take depositions of up to three additional witnesses. The extended discovery and excess depositions requested are for the limited purpose of allowing the District to obtain full fact discovery on the additional count addressed in the District’s First Amended Complaint. The amended complaint adds a second count against Defendants 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee (the “PIC”) and the Trump Organization LLC (“Trump Organization”) for violating the District’s statutory and common law when the PIC improperly paid almost $50,000 for hotel rooms reserved by the Trump Organization. Despite diligent efforts by the District to conduct discovery on facts related to this improper expenditure, the District has been met with repeated obstacles, including misleading testimony, a closed hotel, and new information revealed after the deadline for issuing discovery requests passed on February 8, 2021. This is the District’s first request for an extension of discovery. Legal Standard The Court may modify the scheduling order, including extending discovery deadlines, “on a showing of good cause.” SCR-Civil 16(b)(7).

Trump for President, Inc. and Bradley T. ) Crate in his official capacity as treasurer ) The Trump Organization LLC ) STATEMENT OF REASONS OF CHAIR SHANA M. BROUSSARD AND COMMISSIONER ELLEN L. WEINTRAUB This matter under review (“MUR”) involves yet another instance of Donald Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign receiving what may have been illegal contributions, this time in the form of high-ranking Trump Organization employees performing campaign activities that appear to have been undertaken at the direction of the candidate himself.1 Former Trump Organization Executive Vice President and Special Counsel Michael Cohen and General Counsel Alan Garten appear to have performed work on behalf of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. (the “Trump Committee,” “campaign”) – work that was paid for by the Trump Organization and thus likely constituted impermissible in-kind contributions. The ban on corporate contributions to federal candidates is one of the foundational principles underpinning the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA,” or the “Act”), having been firmly ensconced in federal law for well over a century.2 Though the Act includes provisions that permit individuals, including corporate employees, to provide personal volunteer services to campaigns without making a corporate contribution, if the individual is being compensated for his or her services the activity is no longer
