Live Updates: Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg surrenders ahead of expected charges
CBSN
Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, surrendered to authorities in Manhattan early Thursday morning to face expected tax-related charges, the first stemming from the Manhattan district attorney's years-long probe into former President Donald Trump's namesake company.
A grand jury handed down an indictment against the company itself Wednesday evening, sources told CBS News. Weisselberg has come under increasing scrutiny by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the New York Attorney General's Office in recent months, given his intimate knowledge of the Trump Organization's business dealings. The charges, which remain under seal, were expected to relate to alleged failure to pay taxes on corporate perks for Trump Organization employees, like company cars and apartments. Mr. Trump himself was not expected to be charged, his attorney told CBS News earlier in the week.More Related News
