Donald Trump’s longtime finance chief is set to testify as the former president’s civil trial enters its second week
October 10, 2023 at 12:16 am EDTFILE - Former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg appears during his sentencing hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court, Jan. 10, 2023, in New York. After a recent jail stint for tax fraud, Weisselberg is front and center again, set to testify Oct. 10, in the civil trial in New York Attorney General Letitia James' fraud lawsuit against Trump and his company, the Trump Organization.
Trump, who attended the first three days of the non-jury trial last week in Manhattan, is not expected to return to court to see his former chief financial officer testify. An appeals court rejected Trump’s bid Friday to halt the trial while he fights a pretrial ruling that could strip him of Trump Tower and other properties.
Weisselberg testified that he was having trouble sleeping, started seeing a therapist and was taking a generic form of Valium as he tried to “re-acclimate myself back to society." Jeffrey McConney, the Trump Organization’s longtime controller, testified at the civil trial Friday that Weisselberg asked him to assist him in committing tax fraud on multiple occasions, including changing payroll records to hide perks and giving his wife a check for a no-show job so she could qualify for Social Security benefits.
At his May deposition, Weisselberg recalled how Trump would sometimes underline or write a question mark next to values he disagreed with, and would quibble about the language the financial statements used to describe his properties.
