Ex-CFO Weisselberg testifies as Trump civil fraud trial resumes

Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization, is set to testify in the civil fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Donald Trump and his company. Weisselberg, who recently served time for tax fraud, is expected to provide insight into his role in preparing Trump's financial statements and allegations that he manipulated them to inflate Trump's net worth. Trump, who attended the trial last week, is not expected to be present for Weisselberg's testimony. The trial centers around allegations of conspiracy, insurance fraud, and falsifying business records, with James seeking $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump doing business in New York.
