(NEW YORK) — Allen Weisselberg, for decades the chief financial officer of former President Donald Trump's namesake family business, is due in a New York court Friday for a hearing in his criminal case.
The Manhattan District Attorney's office charged Weisselberg and the Trump Organization last summer with tax fraud after they were accused of compensating employees"off the books" in order to pay less in taxes. Weisselberg pleaded not guilty.
The court hearing is a capstone on an extraordinary week for Trump that began with an FBI search of his Florida residence and included a deposition as part of a civil investigation by the New York Attorney general's office. The hearing for Weisselberg is expected to be largely procedural but could include the setting of a trial date, which is expected sometime in October.
