Allen Weisselberg is collecting $2 million while he stews at Rikers.
The agreement called for eight payments between March 31, 2023, and Dec. 31, 2024. Five have been made, so Trump is still on the hook for three more.
The 74-year-old Weisselberg remained hushed in an 11-by-13 foot cell in the West Facility at Rikers Island yesterday morning as Trump set off from the 11,000-square-foot penthouse he tried to pass off in loan negotiations as a mere 31,000 square feet.—not the 68th, as he has claimed—and arrived by motorcade for the start of jury selection.
When he did arrive for the long-delayed civic duty, it was in a black limousine. He waited in line with the other prospective jurors for just a few moments before just stepping to the front. There was grumbling as a court officer escorted him over to a seat. While he was definitely the center of attention at Monday’s jury selection at his own trial, Trump did not seem terribly engaged. Several reporters saw him appear to briefly nod off.An old-school retired NYPD detective suggested aloud that this was “the sleep of the guilty” that can overcome the accused when they have no way to fight the charges against them. Or maybe he was simply exhausted by the strain of being the first former president to be tried for a crime.
