There's a lot going on in the world and here at home at the moment so it's not surprising that Donald Trump and his legal problems aren't front and center in our political coverage. Trump himself is very upset by this, lamenting on Truth Social earlier this week that he's forced to appear at the courthouse in New York where his fraud trial is being held (he isn't) and complaining that nobody's paying attention to him, posting, "despite my being here, the talk is all about Biden getting ready to fly to the Middle East..."
But even though nobody is paying close attention to all of his troubles at the moment, there is quite a bit of news on the Trump legal front and some of it may have some very unpleasant consequences for the former president. The fraud trial is not going particularly well for him with ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg possibly having committed perjury on the stand which could mean his plea deal with the Manhattan District Attorney in the Trump Org case is in danger. Weisselberg went to jail for five months in that case but could easily see more time if that's proven.
