Trump’s Ex-Finance Chief To Plead Guilty to Perjury in New York
The Twice Impeached 4 times indicted felony Criminal Defendant Donald Trump’s former finance chief Allen Weisselberg is negotiating a deal to plead guilty to perjury (lying to protect his former mob boss) according to a new report.
Weisselberg is in talks with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office to potentially admit he lied in the witness box in Trump’s $370 million civil fraud trial and during an interview with the New York Attorney General’s office, according to the New York Times.
Donald Trump’s former finance chief Allen Weisselberg is negotiating a deal to plead guilty to perjury, according to a new report.
Weisselberg is in talks with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office to potentially admit he lied in the witness box in Trump’s $370 million civil fraud trial and during an interview with the New York Attorney General’s office, according to the New York Times.
As part of the deal, Weisselberg would have to admit he perjured himself on the stand in October 2023 Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial and that he lied under oath while being interviewed by the New York Attorney General’s office, the New York Times reported.
The lawsuit the allegations against Weisselberg stem from was brought by the New York Attorney General and accused Trump, his children and business associates of committing fraud by lying about the value of assets for personal gain.
Weisselberg was taken off the stand after Forbes accused him of perjury and undercut his testimony with reporter’s notes and emails that showed Weisselberg had thought about the size of Trump’s penthouse—something he said he “never focused” on.
A guilty plea would mark Weisselberg’s second guilty plea recently, as he pleaded guilty to criminal charges in 2022 when he was convicted of tax evasion.
