the prosecutors really messed up, they needed to ask the trump family liars concerning valuation crimes why they did not fire their CFO allen the worm when he was convicted of fraud. And why did they give him the millions the day before he went to prison?

'Allen Weisselberg lied in sworn testimony': Reporter targeted by Trump drops bombshell
Travis Gettys
October 12, 2023 12:25PM ET
| Quote: | A reporter Donald Trump attacked this week as a "psycho" is making a bold allegation against his longtime money man.
Forbes senior editor Dan Alexander, who has extensively covered Trump's business career for years, published a new piece Thursday accusing the former president's accountant of lying under oath during the New York fraud trial.
"Allen Weisselberg, the longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, lied in sworn testimony on Tuesday when questioned about Donald Trump’s penthouse atop Trump Tower," Alexander wrote.
Weisselberg repeatedly insisted that he never focused on Trump's penthouse apartment in his eponymous high rise, which the state attorney general alleges had been listed at 30,000 square feet on financial documents when it instead was just 10,996 square feet, testifying over and over that his employer's private residence was never a particular concern of his when calculating his net worth.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
"But that’s not true," Alexander wrote. "A review of old emails and notes, some of which the attorney general’s office does not possess, show that Weisselberg absolutely thought about Trump’s apartment — and played a key role in trying to convince Forbes over the course of several years that it was worth more than it really was. Given the fact that these discussions continued for years, and that Weisselberg took a very detailed approach in reviewing Trump’s assets with Forbes, it defies all logic to think he truly believes what he is now saying in court."

A Forbes reporter met with Weisselberg and Trump in 2009 to discuss his wealth, and the reporter's notes from that meeting indicate both men were fine with Trump's personal residence being left out of the valuation – but another reporter wrote in 2012 that Weisselberg demanded to know why the penthouse he had valued at $88 million had been excluded while the publication counted large private estates for other billionaires.
"Weisselberg had a point," Alexander wrote. "The penthouse wasn’t worth $88 million, but it was worth something. The reporter added it to the calculation with an estimated $64 million valuation."
But Weisselburg kept pushing in subsequent years, insisting it was worth $200 million and debt-free the following year, and the reporter agreed to value the penthouse at $90 million after the chief financial officer persuaded him it was 30,000 square feet, and additional emails and contemporaneous notes show he pushed yearly to inflate the value of that apartment with reporters.
"The next year, Forbes uncovered property records that showed that the penthouse was only 10,996 square feet, not 30,000 square feet or 33,000 square feet," Alexander wrote. "Reporters reached out to Weisselberg and others at the Trump Organization to ask about the discrepancy, emails that are now being used as evidence in the case." |

Trump's former CFO faces perjury charge in connection to civil fraud investigation
| Quote: | Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, is in the early stages of negotiations with the Manhattan district attorney’s office regarding a potential guilty plea in connection with his allegedly fraudulent testimony on the witness stand in Trump’s civil fraud trial.
According to The New York Times, people with knowledge of the matter are saying that, in order for the agreement to move forward, Weisselberg would have to admit that he did, in fact, lie on the stand regarding Trump's finances, and that he lied under oath during an interview with the New York attorney general’s office, which brought the civil fraud case.
"The deal being negotiated would most likely not require Mr. Weisselberg, 76, to turn on his former boss," writes NYT reporters William K. Rashbaum, Jonah E. Bromwich and Ben Protess. "Although Mr. Weisselberg was involved in the action at the heart of that case — a hush-money payment meant to bury a potential sex scandal just before the 2016 election — prosecutors are not expected to call him as a witness. And the investigation that most required Mr. Weisselberg’s help, the district attorney’s inquiry into Mr. Trump’s finances, may no longer be a priority for prosecutors." |

interesting, again alina could care less about being disbarred I am assuming she has been paid many millions of dollars so she could care less about having to ever work again. It is amazing the media can not figure this out...
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/alina-habba-may-be-in-unusual-no-win-scenario-legal-analyst/ar-BB1i3djT?cvid=dccc543f2a614236c825a066d8e70d1b&ocid=winp2fptaskbar&ei=9&sc=shoreline
Alina Habba May Be in Unusual 'No-Win' Scenario: Legal Analyst
| Quote: | Trump attorney Alina Habba may be in an unusual "no-win" scenario due to her involvement in two of ex-President Donald Trump's New York cases, former federal prosecutor and elected state attorney Michael McAuliffe told Newsweek.
"Given the professional ethical obligations that apply to Habba, her multiple roles may box her into an unusual no-win scenario," McAuliffe said on Friday. "Habba's role as counsel to multiple individuals in Trump's orbit shows how the Trump-related matters all seem to collide eventually. For a lawyer, it's akin to a professional death wish."
Newsweek on Friday reached out to Habba via email for comment.
Habba is representing Allen Weisselberg, former chief financial officer of The Trump Organization, in the New York fraud trial, where Trump is a co-defendant, as well as the former president himself in the E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit. McAuliffe said because Habba is involved in both cases, she "faces enormous professional risks."
The possibility that Habba is posing a threat to her own legal career has been floated in the wake of the letter that she sent to New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, who's presiding over the fraud trial, on Wednesday.
Engoron had asked both sides on Tuesday to respond to the recent reports about a potential plea deal that Weisselberg is reportedly negotiating with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. The agreement is believed to involve the former Trump executive's admission that he perjured himself by lying on the stand in the civil fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James' office.
While prosecutors for James' office said it would be "hardly surprising" if Weisselberg did perjure himself, and Clifford Robert, attorney for the Trump family, called Engoron's request "unprecedented, inappropriate and troubling," Habba offered a more restrained response to the court.
"In an abundance of caution, I have conferred with my ethics counsel and have been advised that I am constrained by my professional ethical obligations from providing any further detail. No adverse inference should be drawn from my inability to respond," Habba said.
Engoron had stressed to Trump's defense team on Thursday that he would have to factor in the Weisselberg matter if the former executive "publicly confesses to having committed perjury about a significant matter in the case before me, or if he pleads guilty to such perjury at any time before I issue my final decision."
The judge had already reminded counsel on Tuesday that attorneys would be in violation of Rule 3.3 if they chose not to take remedial action after becoming aware that their client offered false material evidence, and warned again on Wednesday that, "[I]f someone pleads guilty to committing perjury in a case over which I am presiding, I want to know about it."
"If [Habba] was or is ethically obligated to disclose to Engoron information about her client's testimony (potentially perjurious by his own admission), it will surely hurt Trump's defense," McAuliffe said. "Until now, she's only alluded to privileged information that she's unwilling to disclose in response to Judge Engoron's inquiries about the issue. She may be exposing herself to contempt proceedings or professional ethics complaints, or both."
Legal analyst Lisa Rubin agreed in a Thursday op-ed that Habba's own words could bring the "greatest harm" to the attorney's legal career.
Rubin said that Habba's "carefully worded refusal to say much of anything" to Engoron's request notably left out any acknowledgement of whether or not she had conferred with Weisselberg about the plea deal. It also did not deny that the former Trump executive lied during his testimony.
"She seems to be telling Engoron that her ethical obligations to her client preclude her from saying more," Rubin wrote. "Or is it more complicated? Could Habba be saying that because Weisselberg's interests now diverge from those of other clients, notably Trump's, she is truly in a pickle?"
All parties involved in the case ultimately advised Engoron not to consider the recent reports about Weisselberg in his final decision on the fraud case, arguing that it could delay his final ruling. But Rubin said that even if the reported plea deal does not end up having an impact on Engoron's final verdict, Habba's response to his resquest "could be what causes the greatest harm yet to Alina Habba's standing as a lawyer." |

time to lock him up and throw aay the key and put him in the worst prison NY has to offer. Take the money he was bribed with and go after his family if they were receiving criminal money.
NYT
The Trump Organization’s former C.F.O. will admit to lying at Donald Trump’s recent civil fraud trial, without implicating his former boss.

Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg pleads guilty to perjury
| Quote: | Allen Weisselberg, a longtime lieutenant to Donald Trump, faces five months in jail after reaching an agreement with prosecutors in New York to plead guilty to perjury in the former US president’s recent civil fraud trial charges.
As the former chief financial officer in the Trump Organization, Weisselberg was key in helping Trump record his net worth. A defendant in the fraud trial, Weisselberg was accused of helping to inflate Trump’s net worth on government financial documents, misleading lenders.
That trial ended with a judge imposing a huge financial penalty of more than $450m including interest on Trump. Weisselberg, 76, was ordered to pay $1.1m and permanently banned from serving in the financial control function of any New York business.
Weisselberg also faces five months in jail after pleading guilty to perjury. His formal sentencing will take place in April.
On the witness stand in October, Weisselberg was evasive, often saying he did not recall the real-estate valuations that were at the center of the trial.
But a key moment of his testimony came when Weisselberg insisted he did not notice a discrepancy on Trump’s financial statements: that Trump’s triplex apartment was listed as being 30,000 sq ft when in reality, it is closer to 11,000 sq ft.
“It was de minimus, in my mind,” he said at the time.
Forbes magazine disputed the claim he made on the stand, saying it had emails and notes that proved Weisselberg had actively tried to convince the magazine for years that the triplex was bigger than it actually was, denying what was listed on real-estate documents. Weisselberg abruptly ended his testimony after Forbes published an article accusing him of lying on the stand.
In exchange for Weisselberg pleading guilty to perjury in the fraud trial, the Manhattan district attorney’s office agreed to not prosecute Weisselberg for any other crimes he may have committed during his time at the Trump Organization.
The district attorney’s office is taking Trump to court later this month over hush-money payments sent to the adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. Trump is accused of falsifying business records by reporting hush-money payments as “legal fees” on records.
It is unclear what role, if any, Weisselberg will play in that case. But his guilty plea on the perjury charge would make it easier for prosecutors in the hush-money case to deem him an unreliable witness.
The district attorney’s office said in a statement: “It is a crime to lie in depositions and at trial – plain and simple. Allen Weisselberg took an oath to be truthful, and then committed perjury both at depositions during the New York state attorney general’s investigation and proceeding, as well as at their recent trial.
“Today, Allen Weisselberg is pleading guilty to this felony and being held responsible for his conduct.”
Weisselberg left the Trump Organization last year but has remained loyal to his former boss. The company agreed to pay him severance of $2m.
In 2022, Weisselberg pleaded guilty to allegations of tax fraud at the heart of the former president’s real estate empire. He spent 100 days in New York’s notorious Rikers Island prison after testifying against the Trump Organization. |
