Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization and Donald Trump's right-hand man for decades, is expected to be sentenced to jail for fraud Tuesday afternoon.
Weisselberg pleaded guilty in August to 15 counts of fraud and tax evasion, after reaching an agreement with Manhattan prosecutors in which he promised to testify against the company that employed him for nearly half a century.
In exchange for Weisselberg's testimony, prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence of five months in New York's Rikers Island jail, followed by five years' probation. He must also pay $1.9 million in back taxes and fines. The charges against Weisselberg could have led to years in prison if he had been convicted at trial.
