Allen Weiselberg, the former chief financial officer at the Trump Organization, filed his appeal in New York state court in Manhattan. The 75-year-old may now be called to testify against the company, which is also a defendant, in a criminal trial scheduled for October. Weiselberg worked for Trump for about half a century. He stepped down as chief financial officer after he and the Trump Organization were indicted, but remains on the former president’s payroll as a senior adviser. Weiselberg is not expected to cooperate with Manhattan prosecutors in their larger investigation into Trump himself, a person familiar with the matter said. The former US president has not been accused or charged with any wrongdoing. Despite Weiselberg’s refusal to cooperate, his statement will likely bolster prosecutors’ case against Mr. Trump’s company, which has pleaded not guilty. The defendants were indicted in July 2021 on charges of fraud, tax fraud and falsifying business records, where some executives were paid “outside accounts.” Prosecutors said Weiselberg hid and evaded taxes on $1.76m (£1.47m) in income, including rent on a Manhattan apartment, leases on two Mercedes-Benz vehicles and membership fees family. The tuition checks were signed by Mr. Trump. Weiselberg will likely be sentenced to five months in prison and five years in prison. The prison sentence will begin after the conclusion of the Trump Organization trial. Weiselberg could be released after about 100 days, another person familiar with the matter said. The prison term would be far less than he could have faced if, instead of pleading guilty, he was convicted after a trial. The charges he faced include many of the same ones levied against the Trump Organization, which could face fines and other penalties if convicted at trial. The Trump Organization manages golf clubs, hotels and other properties around the world. The indictment stemmed from an investigation by former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, but lost steam when Alvin Bragg became district attorney in January. Two prosecutors leading the probe resigned in February, with one saying felony charges should be brought against Trump, but Bragg indicated he had doubts.
