"Trump's Legal Team Addresses Alleged Perjury Talks in Civil Fraud Trial"

Lawyers in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial told the judge they had no information to share regarding a key witness reportedly negotiating to plead guilty to perjury in connection with his testimony in the case. The witness, Allen Weisselberg, former CFO at Trump’s company, is reportedly in negotiations with the Manhattan district attorney’s office to plead guilty to perjury and “admit that he lied on the witness stand” when he testified at the civil fraud trial in October. The judge requested details from state lawyers and defense counsel, but they stated they had no knowledge of the situation. Prosecutors are considering a potential perjury charge against Weisselberg, and the judge was urged not to delay the civil fraud verdict due to these developments.
