Prosecutors allege Allen Weisselberg was part of a corporate scheme to help Trump Organization executives 'cheat' their taxes.

Weisselberg testified Tuesday that after he was indicted in 2021 he assumed the title of senior adviser, continuing to work from Trump Tower, where he had many of the same responsibilities he had before his arrest. Those responsibilities included regular conversations with Eric Trump, the former president's son who oversees the company's day-to-day operations, Weisselberg said.

Weisselberg and his wife, Hilary, lived in a $8,200 per month company-owned apartment under a lease agreement signed by Donald Trump himself, while driving luxury cars paid for by the Trump Organization. His son Barry Weisselberg, who also worked for the company, paid just $1,000 per month to live in a high-rise overlooking Central Park, far below the going rate for that high-demand location.

McConney was declared a hostile witness Monday after the judge said McConney appeared to be avoiding giving meaningful answers to even basic questions. McConney has an attorney paid for by the company and has met with Trump Organization attorneys during the trial, he and they have acknowledged.
