Trump Executive Nears Plea Deal With Manhattan Prosecutors
NY Times ^

Posted on 08/15/2022 3:42:41 PM PDT by springwater13

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.

And how did Kahn know a Klingon proverb when he had never met a Klingon?

He read everything on the Enterprise computers in about 1:45 minutes.

I do think it was a screw job -- especially if this sort of thing is common in the corporate world but is never pursued.

I have a feeling the practice of offering the free use of luxury apartments for traveling executives is common, but it is extremely rare for an executive to use one as his primary residence.
