Trump Fraud Trial: Weisselberg Testifies on Financial Discrepancies

The second week of Donald Trump's fraud trial began with prosecutors questioning Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, about discrepancies in financial statements. The trial focuses on whether Trump and other defendants, including Weisselberg, knowingly inflated the value of Trump's assets to boost his net worth. Weisselberg testified that the triplex apartment in Trump Tower, listed as worth $327 million and 30,000 square feet, was actually under 11,000 square feet. Prosecutors presented emails from Forbes reporters questioning the apartment's size, to which Weisselberg claimed he had no recollection. The trial is set to continue until December 22.
