Allen Weisselberg, longtime former Trump Organization chief financial officer, could soon be on the hook for even more jail time on top of his five-month stint.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has threatened Weisselberg, 75, will face a new slate of charges pertaining to an alleged insurance fraud scheme as prosecutors seek to ramp up pressure to obtain his cooperation on a sweeping investigation revolving around former President Donald Trump's business empire, the New York Times reported.
But Manhattan prosecutors are also zeroing in on potential insurance fraud by the Trump Organization in a separate line of inquiry, according to multiple reports. New York Attorney General Letitia James referenced potential insurance fraud in her sprawling $250 million lawsuit against the Trumps. Her suit alleges Weisselberg lied about an appraisal of Trump's real estate assets to an insurance company.
