Allen Weisselberg and the Trump organization are being charged with tax-related criminal activity by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, according to The Hill.
Prosecutors are scrutinizing benefits afforded to Weisselberg and other executives and whether or not taxes were paid on such benefits.
From The Hill:
The New York Times previously reported that the probe into Weisselberg was entering its final stages. A grand jury has reportedly been hearing evidence against the organization’s longtime executive, and prosecutors are said to have obtained his official tax returns.
They would be the first criminal charges against the former president’s company since prosecutors began investigating it three years ago.
The Hill has reached out to the Trump Organization for comment.
