The Trump Organization, is on trial this week for criminal tax fraud - on the hook for what prosecutors say was a 15-year scheme by top officials to hide the plums and avoid paying taxes.
For years, as Donald Trump was soaring from reality TV star to the White House, his real estate empire was bankrolling big perks for some of his most trusted senior executives, including apartments and luxury cars.
Among the key prosecution witnesses: Trump's longtime finance chief Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty and has agreed to testify against the company in exchange for a five-month jail sentence. Prosecutors have said they do not need to prove Trump knew about the scheme to get a conviction and that the case is "not about Donald Trump." But a defense lawyer, William J. Brennan, said even if he's not physically there, Trump is "ever present, like the mist in the room."
Prosecutors say The Trump Organization - through its subsidiaries Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp. - is liable in part because former Weisselberg was a "high managerial agent" entrusted to act on behalf of the company and its various entities.
