"Trump's CFO Allen Weisselberg Pleads Guilty to Perjury Charges"
TL;DR Summary
Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization, pleaded guilty to two state felony counts of perjury related to lying about the size of Donald Trump's Trump Tower penthouse, rendering him useless as a witness in an upcoming hush-money trial. Weisselberg's lies were uncovered through discrepancies in Trump's net-worth statements and his own conflicting testimonies. Despite his plea, prosecutors do not plan to call Weisselberg as a witness in the hush-money trial, and his history of lying under oath on Trump's behalf makes it unlikely that Trump's side would call him to the stand.
