Trump’s CFO Allen Weisselberg Will Implicate Trump Companies in Guilty Plea - hal - 08-17-2022

Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s finance chief, will say in Manhattan court Thursday that he conspired with several of the ex-president’s companies when he pleads guilty to state tax crimes, two sources familiar with the case tell Rolling Stone.
As part of Weisselberg’s plea deal, he has agreed to testify against The Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corporation at trial, which is scheduled for October.
If called to the witness stand during trial, Weisselberg will provide testimony that is the same as what he admits to in court this week, the source said. One of the sources said that while Weisselberg is agreeing to testify, that does not mean he necessarily will; it depends on whether prosecutors decide to call him. The New York Times first reported that Weisselberg was expected to plead guilty, and CNN reported he would testify if called.
Weisselberg will not go beyond his testimony to help the criminal probe, one of the sources said. Still, his potential testimony could pose a severe threat to Trump’s companies. This possible testimony, which allegedly implicates Trump’s businesses, could be key to prosecutors’ securing a guilty verdict against these companies. When a company is found to have engaged in criminal conduct, significant fines can pile up quickly — potentially leading to its demise.

Has nothing to do with Trump and the ridiculous charges that he somehow forced NY to low ball his tax appraisals .
Weisselberg, along with two Trump corporate entities, were charged with multiple felonies for an alleged 16-year scheme to avoid paying taxes by compensating Weisselberg with untaxed benefits like a luxury apartment, a Mercedes-Benz and private school tuition for his grandchildren. The scheme, prosecutor Carey Dunne said at the time, "was orchestrated by the most senior executives, who were financially benefiting themselves and the company, by getting secret pay raises at the expense of state and federal taxpayers."

that was announced a while ago - this case is not that.
Not sure why Mr645 brings it up - it has nothing to do with THIS case.

The criminal case is in limbo, but probably fair to say it has been suspended (in NY).
The civil/tax case(s) continue (felony charges, by the way):
CNN:
Weisselberg's expected guilty plea comes during a dramatic legal period for Trump, who last week at a deposition in the New York attorney general's civil investigation asserted his Fifth Amendment right and declined to answer hundreds of questions about the Trump Organization's financial statements.
People who are not guilty don’t take the 5th. I mean, a lot of people are saying that.
