Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg looks on as then-U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a news conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York, on May 31, 2016.Former U.S. president Donald Trump’s namesake company and its chief financial officer are expected to be criminally charged on Thursday in Manhattan, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
Mr. Trump, a Republican, was not expected to be charged himself, according to people involved in the case. Charges also could increase pressure on Mr. Weisselberg to co-operate with prosecutors, which he has resisted. Mr. Weisselberg is a close Trump confidant, making his co-operation potentially crucial to any future case against Mr. Trump himself.
Prior to entering the White House in January, 2017, Mr. Trump had put his company into a trust overseen by his adult sons and Mr. Weisselberg, who has maintained tight control over its finances. It is unclear what role Mr. Trump now has at the company. Jennifer Weisselberg, the former wife of Barry Weisselberg, has met with prosecutors half a dozen times, and according to her lawyer has provided boxes of tax and bank records as well as financial statements.Story continues below advertisement
