JENNIFER Weisselberg was once a part of the former Trump Organization businessman, Allen Weisselberg’s family.
With Jennifer’s cooperation, Allen was indicted on tax charges on July 1, 2021.
Who is Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg?
Allen Weisselberg, 76, is an American businessman who began his career as an accountant for real estate magnate Fred Trump in 1973.
He was named chief financial officer and vice president of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts in 2000.
Weisselberg also was a board member and treasurer of the Donald J. Trump Foundation.
In addition, the businessman is responsible for the household expenses of the Trump family.
Who is Jennifer Weisselberg?
Jennifer Weisselberg is the daughter-in-law of Allen Weisselberg.
She was married to Allen’s son, Barry Weisselberg, but the pair divorced in 2018.
Jennifer was reportedly a former ballet dancer.
In May 2021, it was reported that Jennifer was evicted from her apartment because she had agreed to collaborate with prosecutors investigating the Trump Organization.
“Yesterday, I was served to leave my apartment within the next seven days. It’s a threat,” she said on CNN’s “New Day.”
“They’re kicking me out,” she added, telling the show’s host she guessed it was because “I’m not wrong about the information I’m giving.”
On the show, she said she gave prosecutors information related to her former father-in-law’s tax practices.
She had been working with prosecutors since the fall, she previously told Business Insider.
In a 2023 interview with The Nation, Jennifer revealed that she has lost all custody and visitation rights with her children and she does not have a permanent home.
What happened with Allen Weisselberg?
Allen Weisselberg was sentenced to five months in prison for lying under oath during Trump’s 2023 civil business fraud trial on April 10, 2023.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury in March and will serve his sentence in New York’s infamous Ryker’s Island.
This won’t be his first stint in Ryker’s, as he served 100 days in 2023 after admitting to running a decade-long payroll tax scam as the CFO of the Trump Organization.
Weisselberg was indicted on July 1, 2021, for allegedly failing to pay taxes on fringe benefits, including school tuition, as the Wall Street Journal reported.
He turned himself in at the district attorney’s office at roughly 6:20 a.m. accompanied by his lawyer Mary Mulligan.
The charges came after Trump attorneys met with prosecutors to dissuade them from proceeding with the case, according to Trump Organization lawyer Ron Fischetti.
Fischetti spoke on the charges to the Associated Press, saying: “The charges are absolutely outrageous and unprecedented if indeed the charges are filed.
“This is just to get back at Donald Trump. We’re going to plead not guilty and we’ll make a motion to dismiss.”
Weisselberg’s attorney, Mary Mulligan, declined to comment.
