Former President Donald Trump's real estate company cheated tax authorities for 15 years, a prosecutor said on Monday in her opening statement in the Trump Organization's criminal tax fraud trial, while defence lawyers countered that the company's longtime CFO had acted for his own benefit.

Both Trump Organization units charged — the Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corporation — have pleaded not guilty. Their lawyers argued on Monday that Weisselberg was not acting on the company's behalf.
