Former Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg sentenced to five months for perjury

Published April 10, 2024 10:32am ET



The former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg, was sentenced on Wednesday to five months in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of perjury last month stemming from his testimony during former President Donald Trump‘s civil fraud trial.

Weisselberg’s perjury stems from the New York civil fraud case against Trump’s family business, which resulted in a judge’s decision in February that Trump, his adult sons, business associates, and the Trump Organization must pay more than $350 million in damages, which became $464 million when prejudgment interest was included.
