Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, surrendered to authorities in Manhattan early Thursday morning to face
expected tax-related charges, the first stemming from the Manhattan
district attorney's years-long probe into former President Donald Trump's namesake company.
A grand jury handed down an indictment against the company itself
Wednesday evening, sources told CBS News. Weisselberg has come under
increasing scrutiny by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and the
New York Attorney General's Office in recent months, given his intimate knowledge of the Trump Organization's business dealings.

Mary Mulligan, Weisselberg's attorney, said her client "intends to plead
not guilty and he will fight these charges in court."
The charges, which remain under seal, were expected to relate to alleged failure to pay taxes on corporate perks for Trump Organization employees,
like company cars and apartments. Mr. Trump himself was not expected to be charged, his attorney told CBS News earlier in the week.
The Manhattan district attorney and the New York attorney general have
ramped up their probe into the former president's business over the past several months. The DA obtained years of Mr. Trump's tax records in
February after a lengthy legal battle that reached the Supreme Court.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly criticized the investigation, claiming
prosecutors are "politically motivated" and have been unfairly targeting
him since he announced his candidacy for president in 2015.
A spokesperson for the Trump Organization said Thursday morning that Weisselberg was "being used by the Manhattan District Attorney as a pawn
in a scorched earth attempt to harm the former president."
The charges do not preclude additional indictments stemming from the probe.
### - heh, no doubt mr money-bags trumpty-dumpty will quickly throw this
his No.1 henchman of his right under the bus if/when it comes down to
it... this hopefully quickly followed by trumpty himself because, yes,
they're all now "trying to harm the former president" - for very good + prearranged reasons!
mainly because it was either 'that' or a very embarrassing impeachment
trial that would have made the whole GOP look bad hah!
plus what a shame old Alcatraz is no longer functioning eh? coz they could
have then stuck the fat tax-evading fuck in exactly the same cell capone
once occupied...
there being a certain 'poetic justice' to something like that no?
(slider laffin' his proverbial ass off as castle-trump teeters on the very brink of the abyss)
now stand back everyone!
timberrrrrrrr! :)))
