Former Trump Organization CFO will be a star witness in the company's tax fraud trial, Bloomberg reports.
Prosecutors allege that the company engaged in a tax fraud scheme by compensating senior executives with perks like apartments and company cars under Weisselberg's supervision.
Under the plea's conditions, Weisselberg — a loyal, 40-year bookkeeper for Trump and his family —agreed to testify in the upcoming trial.
The criminal charges are against Trump's corporation, a small private company, but Donald Trump is the Trump Organization."
If the Trump Organization is found guilty, it would have to pay back taxes and fines totaling about $1.6 million.
