"Trump's Associates Face Legal Peril: Weisselberg Pleads Guilty, Lawyer Warns of Consequences"

Donald Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, has warned Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of "serious" legal and ethical consequences if evidence from ex-lawyer Michael Cohen is presented in the upcoming criminal hush money trial. This comes after Trump's former chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, pleaded guilty to perjury in a civil fraud trial, where Trump was found to have filed fraudulent financial statements. Blanche accused Bragg of prosecutorial misconduct for seeking a perjury plea deal for Weisselberg while ignoring similar allegations against Cohen. Trump is set to go on trial on March 25 facing 34 charges related to hush money payments, with Cohen expected to be a key witness for the prosecution.
