Lawyer argues chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg committed crimes to enrich himself and company’s benefit a byproduct
As the end of a criminal tax fraud trial of Donald Trump’s real estate company neared on Thursday, a defense lawyer argued that the former president knew nothing about a former senior executive’s years-long scheme.
Susan Necheles, representing one unit of the Trump Organization, pointed the finger at Allen Weisselberg, the longtime chief financial officer, in her closing argument to the 12-member jury in New York state court in Manhattan.
