NEW YORK — The Trump Organization’s longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg took the stand in Manhattan Federal Court Tuesday as the star witness at the criminal tax fraud trial against Donald Trump’s family real estate business.
Weisselberg — who pleaded guilty in August to the multi-year tax fraud scheme at the heart of the case — testified that he wasn’t the only one who saved a buck by illegally excluding lavish work expenses from his taxable income.
The executive, who has worked for the Trump family for a half century, said that the Trump Payroll Corp. benefited, too.
