Retired Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg has been released from New York City's Rikers Island jail after serving a sentence for lying under oath, as per online records. Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer at Donald Trump’s real estate company, pleaded guilty to committing perjury during his testimony in a fraud lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general against the former president.
Weisselberg confessed to lying about the overvaluation of Trump’s Manhattan penthouse on his financial statements. In exchange for pleading guilty to two counts of perjury, prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges against him for any other potential crimes related to his long tenure at the Trump Organization.
