The former CFO was accused by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office of committing perjury in a deposition and during testimony in Trump’s trial, including allegedly lying when he said in July 2020 that he learned Trump’s Manhattan apartment had been overvalued from a media report. In reality, Weisselberg knew about it beforehand, according to prosecutors’ allegations.
The case built by Bragg, an elected Democrat, stems from a hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. The payment was made by Trump’s fixer and ex-attorney Michael Cohen to silence Daniels as she was seeking to come forward about an alleged affair with Trump years earlier, which the former president denies.
