New York Judge Juan Manuel Merchan is expected to sentence Allen Weisselberg to five months in jail.
The judge is expected to sentence Allen Weisselberg to five months in jail. Derick Waller reports from Lower Manhattan.Allen Weisselberg, a longtime executive for Donald Trump 's real estate empire whose testimony helped convict the former president's company of tax fraud, is set to be sentenced Tuesday for dodging taxes on $1.7 million in job perks.
When he begins serving his sentence, Weisselberg is expected to be locked up at New York City's notorious Rikers Island jail complex. He will be eligible for release after little more than three months if he behaves behind bars. Weisselberg testified for three days, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of Trump's real estate empire. Weisselberg has worked for Trump's family for nearly 50 years, starting as an accountant for his developer father, Fred Trump, in 1973 before joining Donald Trump in 1986 and helping expand the family company's focus beyond New York City into a global golf and hotel brand.
Prosecutors said other Trump Organization executives also accepted off-the-books compensation. Weisselberg alone was accused of defrauding the federal government, state and city out of more than $900,000 in unpaid taxes and undeserved tax refunds. A Trump Organization lawyer, Michael van der Veen, has said Weisselberg concocted the scheme without Trump or the Trump family's knowledge.
