TL;DR Summary

Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg has pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury in relation to testimony he gave during a 2020 deposition with the attorney general’s office. Under a deal with prosecutors, he will be sentenced to five months in jail, identical to a prior arrangement. Weisselberg will not testify against Trump in the New York criminal hush money case, despite being central to the financial dealings. This marks the second guilty plea by Weisselberg, who previously pleaded guilty to tax fraud. The latest charges come as a blow to Weisselberg, who is in his late 70s with medical issues, and has been found liable for fraud in a civil case.
