We should get a count of all the Trump advisors who are in jail, were in jail & will be on jail.
Of course the SHOULD be in jail list will be the biggest.
Did Steve #Bannon ask Allen #Weisselberg for any tips on serving time? -
Justice Merchan said before proceedings began that he would not allow in a piece of evidence related to #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr CFO of the #TrumpOrganization, who is currently in #jail.
Prosecutors had hoped to put in evidence his severance agreement that requires #Weisselberg still be loyal to #Trump, to help explain his absence at the trial. But the judge is saying he won’t allow it.

Trump agreed to pay Weisselberg $2 million. But what does Weisselberg owe in return?'Weisselberg’s severance agreement with the Trump Org highlights serious constraints on Weisselberg’s ability to talk voluntarily about what he did and saw as CFO.'

Prosecutors say that #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr CFO of the #TrumpOrganization, designed the specific way that #MichaelCohen would be reimbursed for the #HushMoney payment he made to #StormyDaniels. #Weisselberg worked in coordination w/ #Trump, prosecutors say. #Necheles is trying to cast doubt on that.
We are starting to see the “blame it on Allen Weisselberg” defense.

"Weisselberg was a defendant in the civil #fraud trial & was ordered in February to pay $1 million as a penalty, representing the amount of severance he received from the company. #NewYork Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron found that #Weisselberg was a player in the persistent fraud and that his severance was an award for remaining loyal to #Trump.
Trump was fined more than $350 million, representing ill-gotten gains"

" #Weisselberg, 76, now a #Florida resident, pleaded guilty on March 4 to several counts of perjury for lying in sworn testimony both before and during #NewYork Attorney General Letitia James’s civil #fraud trial. He has been embroiled in Trump’s legal issues for years because he was a key figure at the former president’s namesake company for decades."

Ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg pleads guilty to perjury charges
The charges resulted from his testimony during Trump's civil fraud trial.
Weisselberg conceded he knowingly misled investigators about his knowledge of the size of the Trump Tower triplex in order to obtain favorable loans, insurance rates and "other economic benefits,"
#trump #purjury #Weisselberg -
#Weisselberg testimony occurred on Oct 10, 2023 – #Day6 of the #civil #fraud trial against #Trump, #TrumpOrganization & its top execs.
Start of my thread on Weisselberg’s perjurious testimony:
-
Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, is expected to plead guilty to perjury charges related to testimony he gave in a civil investigation into the real estate company’s finances
-
Prosecutors accused #AllenWeisselberg of #lying under oath when he answered questions in a #deposition in May & at the Oct #trial about allegations that #Trump #lied about his #wealth on #financial statements given to #banks & #insurance companies.
#Weisselberg will be sentenced to 5 months in #jail, the judge said.
Weisselberg’s new #criminal case comes just weeks before Trump is scheduled to stand trial on separate allegations that he falsified business records.
-
Via Lisa Rubin;
#Weisselberg has now pleaded guilty to perjuring himself in two depositions and at trial, all with respect to the value of his former boss’s Trump Tower apartment. His sentencing is set for April 10, smack dab in the middle of the Manhattan DA’s criminal trial against #Trump. #legal
-
👉🏼 “Allen #Weisselberg, a longtime lieutenant to #Trump, has reached an agreement with Manhattan prosecutors to plead guilty to perjury charges on Monday
Yet Weisselberg, who for years has remained steadfastly loyal to Mr. Trump in the face of intense prosecutorial pressure, is not expected to implicate his former boss.”🤦🏻♀️ 1/…

You never have heard of Jessica Denson? Here you have an excellent occasion to do so (even if you already know who she is).
Seven years of though (not just hard) work, condensed in a (for the entire United States) extremely meaningful footnote! -
Ben Meiselas reports on NY Justice Arthur Engoron’s response to Donald Trump’s lawyers refusal to answer his very simple request about Allen Weisselberg’s potential perjury in the civil fraud case.
-
Via Klasfeld: 1/...
NY AG to civil fraud judge:
Don't delay your final decision pending information about Allen #Weisselberg's possible perjury — he already "lacks credibility."
#Trump family's lawyer Cliff Robert comes out swinging against the judge — and seemingly, the NYT — for citing what he calls a "speculative media account" for an "unprecedented, inappropriate and troubling" request for information.
-
Via Kyle Griffin:
Judge Engoron, who's set to deliver a verdict in #Trump's civil fraud trial, has ordered attorneys to give him details abt poss perjury by ex-Trump Org CFO Allen #Weisselberg.
Engoron said in email if Weisselberg had lied in one aspect of his testimony, he might disregard anything Weisselberg has said on the witness stand or to investigators.
"I of course want to know whether Mr. Weisselberg is now changing his tune, and whether he is admitting he lied under oath” #legal
-
ICYMI, Lisa Rubin's version:
On eve of oral argumt on eligib to run in CO primary, the man now known as citizen #Trump is awaiting decision in NY AG civil fraud case. But #Weisselberg’s discussions w DA have now become a *thing.*
Specifically Engoron notes if Weisselberg indeed admitted or will admit to lying under oath in his ctrm, he deserves not only to know but also could determine ALL of his testimony is not credible
(Falsus in uno is shorthand for false in 1 thing, false in everything.)

Breaking news:
The New York judge who oversaw Donald #Trump's bank fraud trial says Allen #Weisselberg's lies could seal the deal in the case.
He demands an explanation—and warns it could spell doom to Trump. #legal https://www.thedailybeast.com/judge-demands-trump-explain-his-accountant-allen-weisselbergs-apparent-lies?ref=wrap

#EricTrump: "It's very clear that Mar-a-lago is not a club, it's a private residence,...so yes, 100%.”
#NYAG turned to the separation agreement between #AllenWeisselberg & the #TrumpOrganization which was executed after his #conviction for #TaxFraud. The agreement explicitly stated that #Weisselberg agreed not to cooperate in any proceedings against Trump unless compelled to do so by authorities. A #TrumpOrg payment of $2M to Weisselberg was contingent upon his signature. (#WitnessTampering)
-
If the #TrumpOrg had used the advised 4.5% cap, then #Trump's share would have = $461M, ~$512M less than the final #TrumpOrganization reported amt.
That’s financial #fraud.
The next year, the #TrumpOrganization, used the same low cap rate, #NYAG Haren asked Birney who told him to use such a low cap rate.
#Birney: "Allen #Weisselberg”
(in the bathroom.)Birney, who still currently works at the #Trump Org, under expert questioning by the NYAG, revealed one way they’d inflate Trump's net worth.
-
Another interesting detail:
While #NYAG questioned #Birney about the spreadsheets & notations, Birney testified that Allen #Weisselberg directed him to use a specific rate to boost the value of #TrumpTower.
NYAG: “Where did that conversation occur?
Birney: “In the restroom of Trump Tower.”
(which calls to mind…)

Before the trial, Justice #Engoron's #dissolution order contained a passage about the application of the "Trump Brand Premium" on his golf clubs.
(pic)#Weisselberg was shown fact-checking emails from #Forbes about #Trump's #NetWorth during his testimony.
Today, #Birney was shown emails from #Bloomberg reporters #FactChecking Trump's net worth.
-
The clipping & note were entered into evidence (pic).
On the clipping, there's adding machine notation showing calculation of price per acre.
The handwritten notations are "probably"
#Weisselberg's, #Birney says.BWY producer's estate sold for $105M.
Next, #Birney was shown an email that Weisselberg sent to him on Sept. 10, 2019, subj "For the SOFC," (stmnt of financial condition)

#Birney was questioned by #NYAG counsel Eric Haren.
Haren shows Birney a newspaper clipping about a Palm Beach #RealEstate property w/note from #Weisselberg.The article is about an estate owned by a Broadway producer (Terry Allen Kramer) that’s listed for $135M.
Weisselberg’s note says,
"Let's see what it ends up selling for." -
It’s #Day9 of the #TrumpTrial parties went immediately to sidebar at the start.
#TrumpOrganization Asst VP #PatrickBirney returned to the stand. #Birney testified yesterday that he largely relied on #Weisselberg & controller Jeff #McConney to assemble #Trump's annual #financial stmnts.
#NYAG #Wallace highlighted Birney's statements during his opening as evidence of an alleged #conspiracy w/in the #TrumpOrg to #inflate Trump's #NetWorth.
"He likes to see it go up," Birney said.
