"Judge Presses for Clarity on Witness's Alleged Perjury in Trump's Fraud Trial"

TL;DR Summary
The $370 million fraud trial against Donald Trump in New York may be impacted by a potential perjury deal with key witness Allen Weisselberg, a former Trump Organization executive. The judge overseeing the case has requested more information about the supposed deal, which would involve Weisselberg admitting to perjury in exchange for not being a witness against Trump in a separate hush-money trial. The judge's email suggests that Weisselberg's entire testimony could be called into question if he admits to lying under oath, potentially affecting the verdict timeline.
