Trump Organization's Former CFO Allen Weisselberg Pleads Guilty to Perjury
TL;DR
Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization, pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury in connection with testimony he gave during Donald Trump's civil fraud trial. The Manhattan District Attorney recommended a five-month jail sentence, and Weisselberg admitted to committing conduct underlying other instances of perjury. This is his second guilty plea, following a 2022 plea to tax fraud charges. The judge in the civil fraud trial found Weisselberg's testimony to be intentionally evasive and lacking credibility.
