In the weeks since Donald Trump was pushed out of office, the Manhattan District Attorney has been significantly ramping up his financial fraud case against Donald Trump. He expanded the probe into Westchester County, New York. He hired an outside attorney with a specialty in prosecuting white collar mob cases. Now the DA has expanded the case outside of New York State entirely.

In a remarkable move, the Manhattan criminal case against Donald Trump now includes the Trump Organization’s skyscraper in Chicago, according to CNN. In what has become a clear trend in the criminal case, the focus is on Trump’s longtime pattern of fraudulently inflating the value of his existing properties in order to obtain loans to keep his financial house of cards from falling apart.

Even though this latest addition to the case is in Chicago, it still falls under the jurisdiction of the Manhattan District Attorney, because Donald Trump was living in and basing his business out of New York City at the time. If you’re wondering why Trump hasn’t been arrested yet, it’s becoming clear that the DA is building the most comprehensive case possible, in order to assure a conviction. In other words, Trump is going to prison.
