Wednesday, April 10, 2024 10:52AM Allen Weisselberg , a former longtime executive in Donald Trump 's real estate empire, is set to be sentenced Wednesday for lying under oath in the ex-president's New York civil fraud case.
Now, he's again trading life as a Florida retiree for another stay at New York City's notorious Rikers Island jail complex. Weisselberg testified twice in trials that went badly for Trump, but each time took pains to suggest that his boss hadn't committed any serious wrongdoing. His plea agreement does not require him to testify at Trump's hush money criminal trial, which is scheduled to start with jury selection Monday.
Trump's lawyers took issue with Weisselberg's perjury prosecution, accusing the Manhattan district attorney's office of deploying "unethical, strong-armed tactics against an innocent man in his late 70s" while turning "a blind eye" to perjury allegations against Michael Cohen, the former Trump lawyer who is now a key prosecution witness in the hush money case.Weisselberg pleaded guilty March 4.
As Weisselberg was testifying last October, Forbes published an article with the headline "Trump's Longtime CFO Lied, Under Oath, About Trump Tower Penthouse."
