A disgraced former commander in the New York Police Department's gun licensing bureau claimed in a court filing Wednesday that President Donald Trump and his eldest son were among celebrities and donors who got licenses without proper credentials.
The court papers were filed by a lawyer for former Lieutenant Paul Dean, who seeks leniency after pleading guilty in August to conspiracy to bribe licensing officers. The charge related to plans by Dean to retire from the police department to start a business to help individuals get the coveted permits.
Dean is scheduled to be sentenced on January 31 for bribery.

In a court filing Wednesday, attorney Abe George said the bureau had a history of giving star treatment to certain applicants.
He cited several powerful people who allegedly received licenses without normal vetting, including Trump, his former lawyer Michael Cohen and Donald Trump Jr.
Others accused of benefiting from the scheme include business chief executives, Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity, comedian Tracy Morgan, actor Tom Selleck and the owner of a Manhattan nightclub who is accused of gifting members of the police department free lap dances.
The list, also includes ex-mayoral candidate John Catsimatidis, ex-Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack, and late Fox News head Roger Ailes.

Representatives of Trump and his son did not immediately comment.
In a statement, the police department said the information provided by Dean after his arrest on corruption charges was part of a thorough investigation by the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau, the FBI's Public Corruption Unit and overseen by federal prosecutors.
Those authorities, the statement said, 'found no basis to charge any other individual.'

Comedian Tracy Morgan (pictured above) was another celebrity mentioned who allegedly received a license without normal vetting
In a statement Sean Hannity delivered through a spokesperson, the television personality said he has had his permit for most of his working years at Fox News, which he joined in 1996.
'He has followed every legal and proper procedure for his original application and numerous subsequent renewals,' the statement said. It also said he has no relationship with police officials Dean alleged were part of the scheme or with anyone else at the licensing department.
Emails requesting comment from representatives for Morgan and Selleck were not immediately returned Wednesday.
Actor Tom Selleck (pictured above) is also listed as one of the celebrities to benefit
Dean, signed a plea agreement with prosecutors that recommends a sentence of between 18 and 24 months in prison. Prosecutors have not yet filed their pre-sentence submission.
Dean's lawyer describes his client's 22-year police department career as 'unblemished' prior to his 2017 arrest. His filing notes he was among the first responders to the September 11 terrorist attacks and remained there for months afterward.
It said the leniency was earned in part through 'Dean's willingness to break the 'Blue Wall of Silence' and provide truthful information on three separate occasions to the government.'
The prosecution alleged corrupt police officers in the licensing division accepted bribes to help expedite over 150 applications for gun licenses from a civilian who received as much as $18,000 per license.
Dean maintained it was long an open secret that gun licenses were for sale as licensing officers accepted alcohol, meals, jewelry and cash.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
