Overview

• 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.
