Weisselberg Negotiates Plea Deal Over Perjury in Trump Fraud Trial

The former CFO's potential admission to lying under oath could influence the outcome of Trump's upcoming legal battles, including the hush-money case.

Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization, is negotiating a plea deal with Manhattan prosecutors to admit to perjury during Trump's civil fraud trial and an earlier interview.
The plea deal could deter other witnesses from lying and may affect the outcome of Trump's upcoming Manhattan trial in the 2016 hush-money case.
Weisselberg's potential perjury charge relates to his testimony about the valuation of Trump's Trump Tower penthouse, which was listed as three times its actual size.
The delay in the ruling of Trump's fraud trial by Judge Arthur Engoron may be related to the negotiations with Weisselberg, affecting the trial's outcome.
Experts believe the plea deal and potential perjury charge against Weisselberg could significantly impact Trump's legal challenges, including the upcoming hush-money trial.
