A top Trump Organization executive charged over a tax avoidance scheme that allegedly ran for 15 years is nearing a plea deal with Manhattan prosecutors.
Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer (CFO) of the Trump Organization and one of Donald Trump’s closest aides, was scheduled to be tried on 24 October over allegations that he took more than $1.7m from the company in off-the-books compensation, including rent, car payments and school tuition fees.
