NEW YORK (AP) — The former chief financial officer of Donald Trump’s company has pleaded guilty in New York to lying under oath during his testimony in the ex-president’s civil fraud case. Allen Weisselberg will not have to testify at Trump’s hush-money criminal trial as part of his plea Monday. The 76-year-old Weisselberg will be sentenced to five months in jail in his second stint behind bars after an unrelated tax fraud case. His plea to perjury is further evidence that he’s willing to again spend a chunk of his golden years in jail rather than testify truthfully or flip on his old boss.
