The Trump Organization has removed Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg as an executive at certain subsidiaries following criminal charges earlier this month alleging he and the Trump Organization engaged in a 15-year tax scheme, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Weisselberg, who's worked with former President Donald Trump's family for nearly five decades, was terminated last week as a director at Trump's golf course in Scotland, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing public records.
According to regulatory filings in the United Kingdom, Weisselberg was terminated from his role at the golf course on July 8; he previously served as a director and secretary.
The 73-year-old has also been removed as a vice president at Trump Payroll, one of the subsidiaries charged in the tax scheme by Manhattan prosecutors earlier this month.
In his place, Trump's two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have been listed as directors.
The removals are part of a wider effort to change Weisselberg's responsibilities—and possibly, his title—at the Trump Organization, though he's expected to remain with the company, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
The Trump Organization did not immediately respond to Forbes' request for comment.

At least they are going after the Organization, so the Organization can use their lawyers in what will be a very expensive legal fight.
It’s a means to an end. They spent years trying to dig up dirt on President Trump. This is just another fishing expedition to see if there’s anything in the Trump organization they can pin on him. And if not, they’re going to get the words “Trump” “charges” “felony” and “fraud” into as many headlines as they possibly can to smear him.
This has nothing to do with upholding the law; it’s about punishing a man who has fought to help the people of this country.
When we get trump back he needs lead a regiment of soldiers into every bureaucracy in DC and melt them down with flame throwers (in theory).
It really is past time to start prosecuting prosecutors for misbehaving in office.
PENAL CODE CHAPTER 39. ABUSE OF OFFICE - Texas
OFFICIAL OPPRESSION. (a) A public servant acting under color of his office or employment commits an offense if he: (1) intentionally subjects another to mistreatment or to arrest, detention, search, seizure, dispossession, assessment, or lien that he knows is unlawful;
Bad optics.
Why not just put him on permanent paid leave until his legal issues are settled?
That would give him the comfort of not being abandoned by the Trump Organization, and a steady pay check, which he does not need, but still means something, at any age or any wealth level.
On the other hand, maybe he has flipped, and Trump is giving him the middle finger?
Misleading fake news.
“part of a wider effort to change Weisselberg’s responsibilities—and possibly, his title—at the Trump Organization, though he’s expected to remain with the company”

Judicial harrassment.
On our way to becoming a banana republic.
