BREAKING: Former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg sentenced to five months in jail for dodging taxes, which led to company's conviction for criminal tax fraud. He was taken to custody after he was sentenced.
. Weisselberg has worked for Trump’s family for nearly 50 years, starting as an accountant for his developer father, Fred Trump, in 1973 before joining Donald Trump in 1986 and helping expand the family company’s focus beyond New York City into a global golf and hotel brand.
The Trump Organization is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday and faces a fine of up to $1.6 million. Weisselberg said the Trumps remained loyal to him even as the company scrambled to end some of its dubious pay practices following Trump’s 2016 election. He said Trump’s eldest sons, entrusted to run the company while Trump was president, gave him a $200,000 raise after an internal audit found he had been reducing his salary and bonuses by the cost of the perks.
