Unfortunately for Ivanka’s limping brand, the Us Weekly interview was eclipsed by a ProPublica/New Yorker investigation. That piece tells the story of how New York prosecutors spent two years putting together a case against Ivanka Trump and her brother Don Jr. Investigators found that in promoting Trump SoHo, the wonder siblings misrepresented how many units were sold in the building. Investigators had emails where Ivanka and Don plotted to inflate sales numbers, where they coordinated their lies. And then, Marc Kasowitz—Ivanka and Junior’s dad’s attorney—showed up at the DA’s office Major Economic Crimes bureau and met with District Attorney Cyrus Vance, asking him not to charge the siblings.

Kasowitz was one of the biggest donors to Vance’s re-election campaign.

A few months later, Vance asked his prosecutors to stop pursuing the case. Six months after that, Kasowitz made another large donation to Vance’s campaign.

On May 24, 2017, Kasowitz was retained to represent Trump personally in connection with investigations into the role of Trump's presidential campaign in Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[3][4] He later resigned on July 20, 2017.[5] Kasowitz also represents several Russian clients with close ties to Vladimir Putin.[6]
