Allen Weisselberg perjury deal could be ābig nail in the Trump civil fraud coffin,ā says Andrew Weissmann
Allen Weisselberg, the former longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, is negotiating a deal with Manhattan prosecutors to plead guilty to perjury, according to The New York Times.
The deal would require Weisselberg to admit that he lied while testifying at Trumpās recent civil fraud trial and in an earlier interview with the New York attorney generalās office, sources told the outlet.
The reported deal comes after a long pressure campaign by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose team sought Weisselbergās cooperation in several investigations into Trumpās business and alleged election crimes. Trump is scheduled for trial in Manhattan in March in the 2016 hush-money case.

āWhy has Judge Engoron not issued his decision on the Trump civil fraud? One reason could well be the news that the Trump chief financial officer may be pleading to lying to Judge Engoron in a way to help Trump,ā tweeted former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann. āAnd the Judge is waiting for that to support his decision against DJT. This [would] be another big nail in the Trump civil fraud coffin.ā

He defines ābestā differently than we do. As far as I can tell it means āmost willing to do the corrupt shit I tell them toā
