Trump Organization’s longtime finance chief chokes up on witness stand while describing tax-dodging scheme

Trump Organization's former Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, left, arrives to the courtroom in New York, Thursday, Nov. 17, 2022.

“It was my own personal greed that led to this,” said Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty to tax crimes and agreed to testify against the company in exchange for a five-month jail sentence.His emotional testimony came on his second day as the prosecution’s star witness, as a company lawyer reminded him on cross-examination of the faith that the Trump family had put in him for decades.

Some of Weisselberg’s testimony appeared to underscore that point. But the 75-year-old executive refuted the defense’s contention that his scheme didn’t help the company’s bottom line too. He also detailed another financial arrangement, involving holiday bonuses, that had saved the company money for years.

Calamari has not been charged with a crime. McConney, who was granted immunity, testified for the first five days of the trial in state court in Manhattan.

Remarkable, after all the investigations - Trump is clean. Perhaps the most vetted politician in recorded history. 🤷‍♀️
