Allen Weisselberg is charged with taking more than $1.7 million in untaxed compensation from the Trump Organization.
NEW YORK — Donald Trump's chief financial officer is expected to plead guilty to tax violations Thursday in a deal requiring him to testify about illicit business practices at the former president's company, two people familiar with the matter said.
The two people were not authorized to speak publicly about the case and did so on the condition of anonymity. Weisselberg is the only person to face criminal charges so far in the Manhattan district attorney's long-running investigation of the company's business practices. Former District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who started the investigation, last year directed his deputies to present evidence to a grand jury and seek an indictment of Trump, according to former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who previously led the probe.
Prosecutors alleged that the company gave untaxed fringe benefits to senior executives, including Weisselberg, for 15 years. Weisselberg alone was accused of defrauding the federal government, state and city out of more than $900,000 in unpaid taxes and undeserved tax refunds.
