"Ex-Trump CFO Sentenced to 5 Months for Perjury in Trump Trial"

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has been accused of "neutralizing" potential defense witness Allen Weisselberg, the former CFO of the Trump Organization, by prosecuting him for perjury in relation to the hush money case against Donald Trump. Trump's first criminal trial is set to begin, with the former president pleading not guilty to charges of falsifying business records. Weisselberg, who recently pleaded guilty to false statements, has been sentenced to five months in Rikers Island. Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner suggested that Weisselberg's credibility as a defense witness may be questionable, as he has not agreed to testify truthfully about Trump's alleged crimes.
