Both investigations onto former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization from New York prosecutors are now in a criminal capacity. With prosecutors increasing pressure on longtime Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, Jennifer Weisselberg said her former father-in-law could be expected to turn on the former president.
Speaking with Erin Burnett on CNN last week, Ms. Weisselberg said without hesitation that her former father-in-law is set to cooperate with authorities. Ms. Weisselberg played a part in providing the authorities with a slew of documents, many of which she says are communication records between her former father-in-law and the former president. Ms. Weisselberg also doubled down on her support for the investigations.
“There’s nothing going on that’s a ‘witch hunt’ or a ‘fishing expedition’” said Ms. Weisselberg. “That’s not true. They are guardians of the law, they are working hard as I am to tell the truth, and to see justice prevail...they need to be accountable for what they’ve done.”
Weisselberg has reportedly been under investigation for months by the New York attorney general’s office. This comes as prosecutors seek to conduct a broader investigation into the Trump family’s financial transactions and business dealings. The investigation also seeks to look into the allegations that the Trump family illegally over and undervalued properties to gain loans and receive tax benefits.
Ms. Weisselberg was also pressed on why she was willing to cooperate with the investigation when other Trump associates who have turned on the former president only did so under immense pressure from prosecutors. Ms. Weisselberg said that the truth matters and that the possibility of Trump earning a second term in 2024 despite knowing what she knows, is terrible.
Meanwhile, Andrew Weissman, who served under Robert Mueller during the investigation of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections, said that Trump could still be imprisoned despite being a former US leader. Speaking with Mehdi Hasan over the weekend, Weissman said that Trump could still be faced with prison time if charged with tax fraud.
“You know, I think the answer to that is if there is to be a prosecution and if it turns out that he, like anyone else, committed fraud or significant tax fraud, then he should suffer the same, you know, penalties that any other person would. I mean, this country is built on the notion -- that a president is not above the law,” said Weissman.
