Ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg faces perjury sentencing

Allen Weisselberg, once the long-serving chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, will be sentenced Wednesday to five months in jail

The former CFO pleaded guilty to lying under oath while testifying about his knowledge of the size of the Trump Tower triplex in New York City. Prosecutors said Weisselberg was trying to obtain favorable loan, insurance rates and "other economic benefits," according to Gary Fishman, who presented the case for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

"It was almost de minimis relative to his net worth, so I didn't really focus on it," Weisselberg said during trial. "I never even thought about the apartment." At trial, a lawyer with the New York AG's office, Louis Solomon, confronted Weisselberg with emails from a Forbes reporter seeking clarity about the apartment's size and a letter signed by Weisselberg certifying the excessive square footage to the Trump Organization's accountant, Mazars USA.
