Read an old article from last year saying the top law firms declined to represent Trump in the Russia investigation. Any of the Big 4 decline to take him on as a tax or audit client as well?

I’m a fan of Trump. Voted for him once, will vote for him in 2020. But that said, I wouldn’t want him as an audit client. Brings way too much scrutiny for what probably amounts to a relatively small fee.

Actually he just needed to outsmart enough voters in swing states, which was apparently easy to do

I saw the subpoena to Mazars. Just made me wonder if he HAD to go with Mazars cause Big 4 didn’t want him as a client.

IIRC EY audited the casino business when it was publicly traded waaaay back in the day. Apparently Mazars handles his current affairs. Not a big firm, but not a small firm either. To be fair, does he really need a Big4 audit? Probably not .
