Former Chief Financial Officer of the Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg, is reportedly in talks to potentially plead guilty to a perjury-related charge in connection with the New York attorney general's civil fraud case. Various sources indicate that Weisselberg is currently engaged in discussions with the Manhattan district attorney's office, led by Alvin Bragg. However, it is important to note that these talks are in the early stages, and it remains uncertain whether an agreement will be reached.
While Weisselberg's potential plea deal may be significant, it is crucial to highlight that he is not expected to cooperate in the district attorney's investigation and prosecution of former President Donald Trump. Trump is facing trial next month on 34 counts of falsifying business records, specifically related to the hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels and the subsequent reimbursement of those payments to Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen. The former president has pleaded not guilty to these charges, and this trial could potentially be his first criminal trial.
