NEW YORK — Allen Weisselberg, one of former President Donald Trump's most trusted and loyal employees, will face sentencing Tuesday after he pleaded guilty last year to 15 state crimes then testified against the Trump Organization this past fall.
Weisselberg, 75, pleaded guilty in August to devising and operating a 15-year scheme to defraud federal, state and city tax authorities by evading more than $1.7 million in taxes on unreported income in the form of company-provided perks that included the rent on his Manhattan, New York apartment, the leases on cars for himself and his wife and tuition for his grandchildren.
He was promised a sentence of five months in jail to be served on Rikers Island and five years' probation in exchange for his testimony, and agreed to repay nearly $2 million in taxes owed. Weisselberg's attorney, Nicholas Gravante, declined to comment in advance of Tuesday's sentencing hearing, but said he would make a statement when it was over.
