Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, left a Lower Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday to begin his five-month sentence at Rikers Island, and as his lawyer Nicholas Gravante told me, the 75-year-old client 'just wants to get it over with.'
Allen Howard Weisselberg, the former Trump Organization CFO, exits New York State Supreme Court with his lawyers Mary Mulligan and Nicholas Gravante, after his hearing in the Manhattan borough of New York City, U.S., August 18, 2022.
It struck me as requiring a precarious balancing act. On one hand, the lawyer had to effect Weisselberg's cooperation with prosecutors. On the other, his client still held longstanding loyalty to the Trump family. Weisselberg, who has worked for the Trumps for half a century,in November that he acted for his own benefit, blaming “my own personal greed.
It was “highly unlikely he was going to get a fair trial in New York County because of the jury pool,” Gravante said. If the proceedings were in a more politically conservative area, he added — for example, Naples, Florida, where Gravante was staying when we spoke by phone on Sunday afternoon — “my advice might have been different.”
Futerfas called Gravante “one of the outstanding lawyers in the United States, which is why I recommended him to the Trump Organization.” Gravante reunited with Cravath colleague David Boies in 2000, spending the next two decades at Boies Schiller Flexner, where he rose to become co-managing partner before moving to Cadwalader in 2021.
