Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance has charged former President Donald Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, and his longtime CFO Allen Weisselberg, with tax fraud, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday in New York.
The charges are the first brought by New York prosecutors in the case since they launched their investigation nearly two years ago into the financial dealings of Trump, his company, his family, and associates.
Weisselberg, who has worked for Trump for decades, is one of the longest-tenured Trump employees and has been described by Trump as one of the most loyal. Weisselberg worked for Trump’s father, Fred Trump, before joining a young Donald Trump in building the Trump Organization.
In addition the Vance case, the Trump family and company are under civil scrutiny by the New York attorney general’s office, which has deposed Weisselberg and at least one of Trump’s children, Eric, regarding the company’s financial dealings, including those of its two charitable foundations.
