Allen H. Weisselberg, a longtime top executive at Donald J. Trump’s family business who was indicted on tax charges last summer, is nearing a plea deal with prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office but would not cooperate with a broader investigation into Mr. Trump, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
His plea deal, if finalized, would bring prosecutors no closer to indicting the former president but would nonetheless brand one of his most trusted lieutenants a felon.
On Monday, Mr. Weisselberg’s lawyers and prosecutors met with the judge overseeing the case, according to a court database. The judge scheduled a hearing for Thursday in Mr. Weisselberg’s case, a possible indication that a deal has been reached and a plea could be entered then.
While Mr. Weisselberg, 75, is facing financial penalties as well as years in prison if convicted at trial, a plea deal would scrap a high-profile trial and most likely would spare him from a lengthy sentence. One person with knowledge of the matter said that Mr. Weisselberg was expected to receive a five-month prison sentence, an unexpectedly favorable outcome for him.

Lawfare. The “Just Us” legal system acting as a political weapon.
Shameful.
My only satisfaction is that someday, the same scumbags instituting this will wind up victim to it.
They are scumbags.
Plea bargaining should be illegal.
And gutless Republicans say nothing.
Favorable? He did nothing that thousands of executives have done who paid a minor fine for it. Private use of a company apartment? A recommendation for a kid?
A cold dish of revenge is coming.
He paid for his grandchildren’s tuition! LOCK HIM UP!
He had a free parking spot! LOCK HIM UP!
yeah
he is going to jail because he worked for Trump
anyone else would have been able to write a check
The cliche BS is that "they had to offer lesser charges to get something that would make it through court." But I have seen many examples in local cases that seem laughably easy to bring to convictions.
As always my full disclosure: I do not believe in the jury system, the system of "justice", the DOJ or the FBI.

I think since he pleads guilty he loses his 5th amendment rights in grand jury testimony for his crimes. There is still a case against Trump Org and a dual civil/criminal investigation into Trump and his family.
Weisselberg is a solid guy. He didn’t sell out Trump like Cohen did or the many others.
What an effin joke
I thought the Klingon dish was Gaak and was not only served cold but alive!
The parasitic GOP is quiet like a church mouse waiting to be on top and play with their rat friends again
The night of long knives approaches for many regime men who might be too independent or who might know too much. There will be Yezhovs and Yagodas among our new masters.
What in the world would make you think that a cold dish of revenge is coming?? WHEN have you EVER SEEN our side play this dirty WHEN?? Our side are a bunch of pussys and the Dems KNOW IT!!! Our side are nothing more than doormats!!!
And how did Kahn know a Klingon proverb when he had never met a Klingon?
Whats to stop them from arresting and putting Donald Trump in jail?
