Feds Raid Office of Chicago Lawyer Who Previously Did Tax Work For Trump
On Thursday, feds raided the Chicago City Hall office of a lawyer who used to do tax work for President Trump.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, federal agents removed everyone from the office of Chicago Finance Committee Chairman Ed Burke and put brown paper on the doors.
Ed Burke previously helped Donald Trump with his property taxes, reducing Trump's tax burden on his Chicago skyscraper by $14 million.
Trump and Burke decided to go their separate ways earlier this year citing "irreconcilable differences."
"Source says feds showed up this am, asked everyone to leave and put brown paper on the doors," tweeted Chicago Sun Times reporter, Fran Spielman.
The Chicago Sun Times reported:
Federal agents showed up unannounced at the City Hall office of Finance Committee Chairman Ed Burke, kicked everyone out and papered over the windows Thursday morning.
The nature of their visit was not known, but Ald. Burke (14th) has dodged dozens of federal investigations over five decades in Chicago politics.
Federal agents also showed up to Burke's ward office and papered over the windows there.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment. Calls to the FBI office in Chicago and the IRS criminal investigations division were not immediately returned.
Burke's brother, state Rep. Dan Burke, reached in Springfield, was stunned by the news.
"It's shocking. I don't know what to think," Burke said from his state capitol office.
"I don't have a clue. Any time there is this type of thing, where they come in and paper your windows, certainly that's a concern. But I know my brother. For his entire life and career he's been abiding by the law."
Burke is leaving the legislature, having been defeated by a little-known candidate backed by Jesus "Chuy" Garcia after a campaign dominated by Ed Burke's property-tax reduction work for the tower along the Chicago River bearing the name of Donald Trump.
President Trump is being harassed by the Deep State and Robert Mueller once again as he leaves the country and heads to Argentina for this weekend's G-20 Summit.
Also happening Thursday morning: Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress after Mueller interrogated him for 70 hours.

"Irreconcilable differences" have led to countless divorces. Now, the same reason is being given for the breakup of President Donald Trump and Ald. Edward M. Burke (14th).
The powerful Chicago alderman's small law firm had worked for Trump for 12 years, persuading Cook County officials to cut the property taxes on the president's namesake downtown skyscraper by a total of more than $14 million.
But Burke announced his breakup with Trump in letters filed last month with the Cook County courts and the Illinois State Property Tax Appeal Board. He wrote that "irreconcilable differences" have led his firm to stop representing Trump's company and step aside in five current cases that seek refunds of millions of dollars in property taxes the president's company has paid.
Those letters came two months after the alderman's brother, state Rep. Dan Burke, narrowly lost a Democratic primary battle amid Hispanic voters' outrage that the alderman was doing work for a president who wants to build a wall to thwart illegal immigration from Mexico.
In next February's city election, Ed Burke, the city's longest-serving alderman, is seeking another term representing his Southwest Side ward, where an overwhelming majority of the residents are Hispanic, primarily Mexican Americans.
The alderman has been criticized over his relationship with the president by former mayoral candidate Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, who's now running for Congress.
"Donald Trump began his campaign for the presidency attacking the Mexican-American community," Garcia said in a Chicago Sun-Times interview in April. "The fact that he has been Trump's lawyer on reducing his property taxes and has been part of the property tax system in Chicago that has affected working people more than anybody else in a regressive manner are issues that have to be taken into account. It was highly offensive to the community. Anyone who isn't representing the community's interests should be worried.
Clem Balanoff - a longtime Garcia ally and chief strategist for Aaron Ortiz, who defeated Dan Burke in the Democratic primary despite being outspent 3-to-1 - said Ed Burke's move to distance himself from Trump is "one more indication of just how afraid Ed Burke is."
Burke, 74, didn't respond to interview requests. A representative of The Trump Organization couldn't be reached.
The law firm of Mayer Brown has taken over five property tax appeal cases that had been filed by the alderman's firm, Klafter & Burke, on behalf of Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago. Mayer Brown attorney Patrick McNerney declined to discuss those cases, which have been languishing for as long as seven years.
Trump's change in law firms isn't expected to cause any additional delays, according to a spokeswoman for Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, whose real estate tax division is contesting the property tax refunds that Burke had been seeking for the skyscraper's hotel and retail spaces.
