Allen Weisselberg, former Trump Organization chief financial officer, is reportedly in talks to plead guilty to perjury in a civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump.
Negotiations are underway between Weisselberg and the Manhattan district attorney’s office. No deal has been solidified as of yet. The perjury charge goes back to Weisselberg’s testimony in October about Trump’s financial statements.
The potential perjury charge comes after Weisselberg was convicted of tax law violations.
In his testimony, Weisselberg could not provide clear information about his former boss’ finances, often stating, “I don’t remember.”
On the stand, Weisselberg was questioned why Trump’s triplex was listed as three times its actual size. Weisselberg claimed he “never even thought about the apartment. It was de minimis, in my mind.”
Last week, a published report in Forbes showed that Weisselberg spoke in detail about these issues with a reporter.
Weisselberg is not expected to testify against Trump if he takes the plea deal. As of now, it is unsure which statements Weisselberg will say he lied about.
If he takes the deal, it will be his second plea alongside a 2022 guilty plea for 15 charges of tax law violations. Weisselberg previously spent 100 days in New York City’s infamous Rikers Island prison, known as one of the worst prisons in the country.
The deal is not expected to require Weisselberg to flip on the former president.
The New York attorney general’s office is looking to regain $370 million from Trump in penalties. Trump repeatedly defied the judge’s orders during the trial, including delivering his own closing argument until he was cut off.
