CNN —The former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization is in talks to potentially plead guilty to a perjury charge related to a civil investigation into the real estate company’s finances, people familiar with the matter said.
He testified at the criminal tax fraud trial of two Trump Organization entities, which were convicted and fined.
The New York Times first reported that Weisselberg was in talks with prosecutors to resolve the investigation.
The district attorney’s office has pressured Weisselberg for months about potential charges related to insurance fraud and perjury.
The New York attorney general’s office is seeking more than $370 million in disgorgement from Trump as well as a ban from doing business in the state.
