Trump Organization CFO Allen Weiselberg pleaded guilty to all 15 charges he faced in the case, which included charges of tax fraud, grand theft and falsifying business records. He was accused of avoiding taxes on the rich fringe benefits he received from the company, including leases on a luxury car, rent on a Manhattan apartment and private school tuition for his grandchildren. Considered one of Trump’s most loyal business associates, Weiselberg was arrested in July 2021. He is the only person facing criminal charges so far in the Manhattan district attorney’s long-running investigation into the company’s business practices. Judge Juan Manuel Merchan agreed to sentence Weisselberg, 75, to five months in prison and five years of probation at New York’s Rikers Island prison complex, though he will be eligible for much earlier release if he behaves well behind bars. The judge said Weiselberg will have to pay almost US$2 million in taxes, penalties and interest. Weiselberg said nothing as he left court, not responding when a reporter asked if he had a message for Trump. Weiselberg’s attorney, Nicholas Gravante Jr., said his client pleaded guilty “to put an end to this case and the years of legal and personal nightmares it has caused him and his family.” “We’re glad to have this behind him,” the lawyer said.
50 years relationship with the company
The plea agreement also requires Weiselberg to testify truthfully as a prosecution witness when the Trump Organization goes on trial in October on related charges. The company is accused of helping Weisselberg and other executives avoid income taxes by failing to accurately report their full compensation to the government. Trump himself has not been charged in the case. Weisselberg’s testimony could potentially weaken the Trump Organization’s defense. If convicted, the company could face fines or possibly be suspended and forced to change certain business practices. Reaction from the Manhattan DA: Weiselberg pleaded guilty to all 15 counts contained in the indictment, thereby specifically implicating the Trump Organization in the criminal charges. We look forward to proving our case against the company in court. —@ManhattanDA Weiselberg’s professional relationship with Trump and Trump’s later father, Fred, dates back to 1973. “Today Allen Weiselberg admitted in court that he used his position at the Trump Organization to punish taxpayers and enrich himself,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a lengthy statement. “We look forward to proving our case in court against the Trump Organization,” Bragg said.
Trump’s latest associate faces prison
Weiselberg will join Michael Cohen as another person in Trump’s business circle to serve prison time. Cohen pleaded guilty in August 2018 to violating campaign finance law by directing payments of $130,000 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and $150,000 to Playboy model Karen McDougal to avoid a scandal just before the 2016 presidential election. .Cohen served three years in prison for this and other offenses and has become a vocal critic of Trump.

(Carlo Allegri/Reuters) Both women said they had sex with Trump and the money was intended to buy their silence. Trump denied the extramarital affairs but never explained why the payments were necessary. In addition, former Trump campaign officials Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and Roger Stone were sentenced to prison for various offenses, although Trump as president commuted Stone’s sentence. Former Trump campaign manager and former White House adviser Steve Bannon faces prison in October when his conviction for contempt of Congress continues. Last week, Trump took part in a deposition in the parallel political investigation of New York Attorney General Letitia James into allegations that Trump’s company misled lenders and tax authorities about property values. Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times. Trump has denounced the various strands of the investigations in New York as politically motivated.
