Trump Org’s Former Money Man Nears Plea Deal in Tax Fraud Case: Report

The terms of the imminent plea deal do not include Allen Weisselberg’s cooperation in investigations into Donald Trump, according to reports.

Allen Weisselberg, the former longtime CFO for the Trump Organization who is accused of receiving years of off-the-books perks, is nearing a plea deal with Manhattan prosecutors, according to The New York Times. A grand jury filed criminal indictments last month against Weisselberg for his involvement in a 15-year tax fraud scheme in which he’s accused of skirting $1.7 million in income taxes. Weisselberg faces high financial penalties if convicted, but a plea deal might spare him from a lengthy prison sentence, as well. Regardless of the deal, the 75-year-old has refused to meet with prosecutors as a part of their broader investigation into Trump, according to the Times, and he will not testify against Trump, who has not been charged.
