"Judge Presses for Answers on Potential Perjury in Trump Fraud Trial"

The judge presiding over the civil business fraud trial of Donald Trump has demanded details about possible perjury by former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, following reports that Weisselberg is negotiating a deal with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to plead guilty to perjury. Judge Arthur Engoron warned that if Weisselberg had lied in his testimony, it could affect his credibility on other matters. The trial, based on a civil lawsuit by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses Trump and others of fraudulently inflating Trump's net worth. Engoron is expected to issue his verdict within weeks.
