Attorney for Trump CFO hints at more indictments
“We have strong reason to believe there could be other indictments coming,” Bryan Skarlatos said in court.

A lawyer for Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg said on Monday that Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance may bring charges against more people as part of the probe into the former president’s company.
Weisselberg’s attorney, Bryan Skarlatos, did not say which people might face charges or whether he thinks former President Donald Trump could be among them.
“We have strong reason to believe there could be other indictments coming,” Skarlatos said in court on Monday, according to multiple news reports.
Attorneys for Trump and another Trump Organization person connected to Vance’s probe said they had received no indications that more indictments could be in the works. A spokesman for Vance's office declined to comment on Skarlatos's courtroom remark.
Skarlatos's comment came during a hearing related to the host of criminal charges that Vance has brought against Weisselberg, the longtime chief financial officer for the Trump Organization. Vance’s team also charged the Trump Organization itself with financial crimes. All the parties charged have pleaded not guilty.
