The CFO of the Trump Organization plead not guilty after he was charged with 15 felony counts and accused of engaging in a 15-year tax scheme and hiding around $1.7 million in income from tax authorities.

The charges include grand larceny, and stem from what an official with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office described as a “15-year long tax fraud scheme” involving the “most senior executives” at the Trump Organization.

Former President Donald Trump’s namesake company issued a statement in defense of its CFO on Thursday, calling it a political attack by Cy Vance, the district attorney.
