So the pattern is that somebody throws up a bombshell WE GOT HIM NOW statement, followed by days of media repeating it, followed by Gilda Radner saying Never Mind.

Whatever happened to Trump’s CFO who didn’t report his company lodging sometime back?

Whatever happened to Trump’s CFO who didn’t report his company lodging sometime back?

His name is Allen Weisselberg. It wasn't just his lodging. His biggest problem may be that the Trump Organization was paying private-school tuition for his grandchildren. There's nothing wrong with a business making such payments, as part of the compensation for a valued employee, but it is compensation to him. One charge against him is that he committed tax fraud by not reporting those payments as income.

Weisselberg was indicted last year, and pleaded not guilty. At one point the trial was supposed to be held in August or September of this year, but these things have a way of getting pushed back.
