Judge Tells Weisselberg Testify Against Trump Or Get 15 Years In Prison - Ring of Fire



Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg has pleaded guilty to fifteen different charges relating to his work at the company, which is every single thing he was originally charged with. In exchange, he will be used as a material witness in a lawsuit against Donald Trump. The judge issued a stern warning to Weisselberg, however, telling him that if he doesn't comply and testify truthfully, he could be headed to prison for a decade and a half. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what this means for Trump.

And he’s still working for the company that he is going to testify against. A company, it should be added, that may not survive if it is found guilty, which Weisselberg already knows it is.

The Trump Orgs only real defense is going to be to destroy Weisselberg’s character on the stand. That seems like it will be awkward.
