The sentencing of Allen Weisselberg comes days before Donald Trump goes to trial on charges of falsifying business records for a hush money scheme.

The perjury charges were brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is prosecuting Trump on charges of falsifying business records as part of a hush money scheme.Weisselberg declined to speak before the judge in a brief hearing in Manhattan criminal court. The 76-year-old former executive is expected to head directly to Rikers Island to begin serving the sentence.
That case is set to head to trial Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court. Weisselberg is not required to testify in it. Trump's attorneys have tried numerous times to delay the trial, including by claiming that Weisselberg's sentencing was scheduled deliberately near it in order to drum up more negative news coverage against Trump.
