During sworn testimony on Tuesday, Allen Weisselberg, longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, did some editing on the fly regarding statements made as to the monetary value of Trump’s penthouse in Trump Tower.
According to Forbes, when Weisselberg fielded questions on the Penthouse being 30,000 square feet — which would put it at a higher value than the 10,996 square feet it actually is — he commented on the inflated numbers in a roundabout way. Per the outlet's reporting, Weisselberg acknowledged that the 30,000-square-foot figure was wrong, but suggested that he didn't have much of a hand in that calculation, saying, “I never focused on the triplex, to be honest with you. It was almost de minimis relative to his net worth, so I really didn’t focus on it." But there is evidence to the contrary.
