"Ex-Trump Org. CFO in Talks to Plead Guilty to Perjury in Civil Fraud Probe"

The former CFO of the Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg, is in talks to potentially plead guilty to a perjury charge related to a civil fraud investigation into the company's finances. The negotiations with the Manhattan district attorney's office are in early stages, and if a deal is reached, it would be Weisselberg's second plea. He is not expected to cooperate against Trump and is not likely to be called as a witness in the upcoming criminal trial. The potential charges stem from testimony Weisselberg gave in an interview with the New York attorney general's office and at a related civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump.
