Allen Welsselberg and Don Jr are the trustees for the Trust that paid off

Cohen ($420K), in connection with the Stormy Daniels matter.

Weisselberg was subpoenaed to appear before a Grand Jury in July. I wonder if he's had even more information to give Mueller, since he's in the thick of things.

Allen Weisselberg, a longtime financial gatekeeper for President Donald Trump, has been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in the criminal probe of Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Weisselberg is considered a witness in the investigation, the people said. It isn’t known whether he has already appeared before the grand jury or what questions prosecutors of New York’s Southern District have had for him. The date of the subpoena couldn’t be determined.

For decades, Weisselberg has served as executive vice president and chief financial officer at the Trump Organization, and was once described by a person close to the company as “the most senior person in the organization that’s not a Trump.” After Trump was elected, he handed control of his financial assets and business interests to his two adult sons and Weisselberg.

were transferred in January , 2017. It is, however, a revokable trust, so Trump could revoke it anytime.

(Are you thinking about the Trump Foundation, by any chance? That's an entity that was shut down.)
