The 75-year-old emerged from New York City’s Rikers Island jail complex facing the same pressures he was under three months ago, when he started serving time for tax evasion
The former executive's recent decision to switch lawyers, away from the attorneys who represented him in the tax case, has prompted speculation he might be drawing closer to the famous family that employed him for nearly 50 years.
With his intimate knowledge of the Trump Organization’s financial dealings, Weisselberg would be a valuable witness in Trump's criminal case. Trump has pleaded not guilty, saying the charges are politically motivated. Trump also says he didn't have affairs with the women.If prosecutors want Weisselberg's testimony, they could try could issuing him a subpoena, but they would run the risk of his asserting his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.
Weisselberg pleaded guilty last August to failing to pay taxes on $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation, including a Manhattan apartment, Mercedes-Benz cars for him and his wife, and his grandchildren’s school tuition. During the grand jury investigation that led to Trump’s indictment, prosecutors approached Weisselberg’s legal team about the possibility of charging Weisselberg with more crimes. Weisselberg is already a defendant in fraud lawsuit brought by New York's attorney general that says he was part of a company scheme to inflate the value of its assets in finance statements.
