Trump is also facing three criminal indictments stemming from his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and hiding top secret government documents at his Florida golf estate. Among them was a June 2017 call between Burke, who at the time was the dean of the City Council and chairman of the Finance Committee, and David Reifman, the then-commissioner of the Department of Planning and Development.
At one point in the call, the alderman asks his brother “to ask a third party why that third party doesn’t give Mr. Burke’s law firm some business instead of giving it all to Madigan,” the filing stated. “Mr. Burke then suggests that they could figure out a way to make Daniel a consultant.”
