Ex-Trump Org. official Allen Weisselberg expected to plead guilty in tax case

Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg is expected to plead guilty to criminal charges tied to his indictment by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in an investigation of former President Donald Trump's businesses, according to two people familiar with the matter and a public court filing.

Weisselberg's plea could come as soon as 9 a.m. Thursday. Terms of the expected deal were not immediately disclosed.

Weisselberg and the Trump Organization were charged as part of what prosecutors described as an “off the books” scheme over 15 years to help top officials in the Trump Organization avoid paying taxes. Weisselberg, 74, was accused of avoiding paying taxes on $1.7 million of his income.

Though prison till he dies later might be better than falling out a window or having a cultist take an AR to his car with him in it.

He gets 5 months and we get nothing.

I never thought we'd get a DA that was worse than Vance.

without cooperating - he might get a few months behind bars and then walks away. Bragg is a very dirty DA and the State of NY needs to look into this shit.

He probably still has to face charges from the state and the IRS.
