The Trump Organization's chief financial officer is staring down a decision: whether to cooperate with prosecutors against former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization or potentially face criminal tax-related charges

The Trump Organization's chief financial officer is staring down a decision: whether to cooperate with prosecutors against former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization or potentially face criminal tax-related charges.

The Manhattan district attorney's office and New York attorney general's tax investigation into Allen Weisselberg, involving a corporate apartment, cars and school tuition for his grandchildren, is at an advanced stage, according to a person familiar with the matter. On Friday, his former daughter-in-law Jennifer Weisselberg met again with prosecutors. Prosecutors could decide whether to seek an indictment against Weisselberg as soon as next month, the person said.

Ex-daughter-in-law of top Trump executive under investigation speaks out 03:40Jennifer Weisselberg previously told CNN that she has discussed perks that she and her ex-husband Barry, a Trump Organization employee received, ranging from corporate apartments to car leases. She also told CNN in April she believes that at least one of her children's tuition payments were paid for, at times, by Donald Trump.

Who is President Trump's top money man? 01:51Last year, the New York attorney general's office said in court filings that it subpoenaed Weisselberg for his testimony and he sat for a deposition over three days in July and August when he was questioned, in part, about taxes.

Anon_LosAngeles ****NEW GEM ALERT****

I haven’t the foggiest clue why people continue to put themselves in harms way for Donald Trump, when they ALL know he would never do the same for them! If Weisselberg & his family wanna take the fall for Trump, then no better for them! Throw them under the jail!

He’ll fold just like all of them.

This is coming from fake news Horse manure news . We you don’t believe you anymore

If Weisselberg ever goes to prison they will 'Epstein' him within weeks.

Fake bull shit

Well it's not like threat of spending a year (most likely commuted to 6 mos) of house arrest inside your mansion is so bad that he’d rather cooperate and lose millions.

It's pretty clear why Trump needed to win 2020. Probably figured he'd be dead by 2025 & it wouldn't matter.

He'll face the charges. He's too rich, white, and affluent to understand the realities of what crime is and it's repercussions. He's never had to answer or have responsibility weighted

I hope for his sake he's a smart man

If CNN continues to refuse to report on Biden’s scandals I’m not interested in any Trump lies they have to pedal.

Talk or take the needle

Trump Should Cough Up His $570,000 Debt To El Paso Before He Tours Border: JudgeWhen Donald Trump arrives in Texas for an appearance with GOP Gov. Greg Abbott to tour the state’s border, he should bring a check to pay off his campaign’s nearly $570,000 debt to the city of El Paso, a local judge said. “We have been trying to reach out to get the $570,000 from when he had his campaign” rally two years ago, El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego told local NBC affiliate KTSM-9 TV earlier this week.
