Former President Trump’s long-serving chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, has been under criminal investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James for several months, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
The investigation, the sources said, began with a referral from state tax authorities several months ago and involved Weisselberg’s compensation by the Trump Organization and whether taxes were properly paid.
Weisselberg, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, has faced a similar investigation from Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, who has sought to flip Weisselberg into a cooperating witness against Trump and the company, sources have said.
