He served 100 days last year for dodging taxes on $1.
Trump's family employed Weisselberg for nearly 50 years, then gave him a $2 million severance deal when the tax charges prompted him to retire. The company continues to pay his legal bills. Weisselberg's expected sentence would mirror his previous case in which he was ordered to serve five months in jail but was eligible for release after little more than three months with good behavior. Prior to that, he had no criminal record.
After Forbes magazine published an article in 2017 disputing the size of Trump's penthouse, its estimated value on his financial statement was cut from $327 million to about $117 million. In his decision, Engoron said he found Weisselberg's testimony "intentionally evasive" and "highly unreliable."
