Top Trump Organization Exec. Surrenders To Manhattan DA.
Allen Weisselberg has surrendered to the DA in New York City on charges that have not been revealed. (NY Times)
“Mr. Weisselberg, accompanied by his lawyer, Mary E. Mulligan, walked into the Lower Manhattan building that houses the criminal courts and the district attorney’s office about 6:20 a.m. He is expected to appear in court in the afternoon along with representatives of the Trump Organization.
The charges against the Trump Organization and Mr. Weisselberg — whom Mr. Trump once praised for doing “whatever was necessary to protect the bottom line” — emerged from the district attorney’s sweeping inquiry into the business practices of Mr. Trump and his company.”
The prosecution must be meticulous in laying out the evidence to a potential jury and the American public. Reflexively, 40% of America automatically believe the former President and that any public criticism, let alone a criminal prosecution, amounts to a pure political witch hunt. The ability to pierce Trump’s inner circle will be difficult but he would ultimately offer up anyone to avoid prosecution and that included immediate family members, this could be the first step.
