Down goes Allen Weisselberg
Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg has already gone to prison once. After he got out, he was called to testify during Donald Trump’s New York civil fraud trial. He tried lying in order to protect Trump, but Trump lost the trial anyway. Weisselberg got caught in those lies, and he was charged with perjury. He pleaded guilty.
Now Weisselberg has been sentenced today to five additional months in prison for that perjury. The timing of all this is turning out to be very interesting.
We’re now just five days from the start of Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial. Allen Weisselberg’s new prison sentence for perjury serves as a timely reminder to any pro-Trump witnesses that if they try lying in the name of helping Trump, they’ll just end up in prison like Weisselberg.
