Trump's former CFO faces perjury charge

Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, is in the early stages of negotiations with the Manhattan district attorney’s office regarding a potential guilty plea in connection with his allegedly fraudulent testimony on the witness stand in Trump’s civil fraud trial.

According to The New York Times, people with knowledge of the matter are saying that, in order for the agreement to move forward, Weisselberg would have to admit that he did, in fact, lie on the stand regarding Trump's finances, and that he lied under oath during an interview with the New York attorney general’s office, which brought the civil fraud case.
