Former President Donald Trump's civil trial continues this morning in New York after testimony shared Wednesday.
Trump, who attended the first three days of the non-jury trial last week in Manhattan, didn't return to court to see his former chief financial officer testify.NEW YORK — Donald Trump signed a document 30 years ago that gave the true size of the New York penthouse that was later listed as far larger on his financial statements, according to evidence shown Tuesday at the former president's civil business fraud trial.
Weisselberg said he learned of the discrepancy only when a Forbes magazine reporter pointed it out to him in 2016. The former finance chief testified that he initially disputed the magazine’s findings but said he couldn’t recall whether he directed anyone to look into the matter.As Forbes zeroed in on the apartment size question in 2017, emails show, a company spokesperson told another Trump executive that, per Weisselberg, they weren’t to engage on the size issue.
Weisselberg left a New York City jail six months ago after serving 100 days for dodging taxes on $1.7 million in extras that came with his Trump Organization job, including a Manhattan apartment, school tuition for his grandchildren and luxury cars for him and his wife. “After a long, what I considered a very quiet business — a job that I had over all these years — to be thrown into this situation has had a traumatic impact on my day-to-day life and my family’s life,” Weisselberg told lawyers in the room, including Trump, in his deposition in April, said his former longtime lieutenant was liked and respected, and “now, he’s gone through hell and back.
