New charges are slated to be filed against Donald J. Trump by late this afternoon, sources say. Authorities allege that former President Trump has in his possession two books from the New York Public Library which were stamped as being borrowed in June of 1989 and were never returned.
With late fees at the time at .50 cents per day per book, the current overdue fee owed by Mr. Trump equals roughly $12,410. However, the library's revenues committee may decide to levy additional amounts to that total, based on late fee increases that have gone into effect since 1989.
In addition, the committee has the option, since the books have been gone for such an extended period, to consider them stolen. In this case, Mr. Trump would still owe the late fees, and additionally be charged with theft of municipal property, which carries a sentence of up to four years in prison.
Although one of the two titles is reportedly "The Art of the Deal", by Trump himself, this does not negate his obligation to return the book within the two week loan period. As the volume is the property of the New York Public Library, his authorship of said volume does not affect his culpability.
The other book is said to be entitled "How to Commit Multiple Felonies and Get Away With It", by H.R. Clinton.
A warrant is reportedly being sought to search Mar-A-Lago for more library books that have not been returned.
With regard to last week's story outlining accusations against Mr. Trump allegedly having removed mattress tags in 1974, a whistle blower has since come forward to say that he witnessed Trump removing such tags as early as 1970. Authorities now suspect Trump may indeed be a serial mattress tag remover, placing him in further legal jeopardy.
The former president's attorneys had no immediate response to the allegations.
