Allen Weisselberg has been accused of taking more than $1.7m from the company, including rent, car payments and school tuition
Donald Trump’s longtime finance chief is expected to plead guilty as soon as Thursday in a tax evasion case that is the only criminal prosecution to arise from a long-running investigation into the former president’s company, three people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press.
Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, is also charged in the case but did not appear to be involved in the plea agreement talks. Weisselberg and the Trump Organization has pleaded not guilty. Weisselberg, who turned 75 on Monday, is the only Trump executive charged in the years-long criminal investigation started by Cyrus Vance Jr, the former Manhattan district attorney, who went to the supreme court to secure Trump’s tax records. Vance’s successor, Alvin Bragg, is now overseeing the investigation.
