On the eve of former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselbergs perjury sentencing hearing, the New York Attorney Generals Office sent a letter to Donald Trumps civil fraud trial judge urging him to direct a court-appointed monitor to investigate whether Defendants and their counsel facilitated that perjury by withholding of incriminating documents.
The day before Weisselberg was sentenced Wednesday to five months in jail for perjuring himself in testimony at Trumps civil fraud trial, AG Letitia James (D) office called on New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron to empower court-appointed monitor Barbara Jones to investigate the potential failure to properly produce documents in a legal proceeding relevant to the valuation of Mr. Trumps triplex.
Prosecutors in Manhattan DA Alvin Braggs (D) office have detailed that Weisselberg, during a deposition, falsely denied that he was present on Sept. 21, 2015 when Trump stated to a Forbes reporter that the size of his triplex was 33,000 square feet, overestimating the square footage of the Trump Tower Triplex by a factor of three a central part of the civil fraud case that ended with a massive judgment against the former president, his eldest sons, and the family business.
Weisselberg was also asked if he advised any financial institutions that a 2015 statement of financial condition contained the triplex calculation error. Well, we didnt find out about the error until the Forbes article came out, he answered. Prosecutors said that wasnt true either and that Weisselberg has since admitted as much.
