TL;DR Summary

Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization, is reportedly in talks with Manhattan prosecutors to negotiate a guilty plea for perjury in Donald Trump's fraud trial. The potential deal could impact Trump's separate trials in New York, including a case over a hush-money payment. Prosecutors hope Weisselberg's plea would discourage other Trump allies from lying on the stand. If he pleads guilty, it would be his second deal with prosecutors, following a previous guilty plea for tax fraud. Weisselberg's testimony in the fraud trial has been scrutinized, and a verdict for the $370m civil fraud trial is expected by mid-February.
