NEW: Trump Org CFO Gets Five Months for Perjury

Less than a year after he was released from jail, former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg is heading back.

Weisselberg was sentenced Wednesday to five months in New York City's Rikers Island jail complex, in line with a plea agreement reached with prosecutors over perjury he committed in a 2023 civil fraud case.

Weisselberg pleaded guilty in March to two felony counts of perjury. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said he admitted to giving false testimony regarding the size of former President Donald Trump's triplex apartment in New York during a July deposition.

He can get out in 100 days, assuming good behavior.

This keeps smelling like a pressure campaign to force Weisselberg to turn on Trump. One has to wonder whether Bragg or James will take another whack at him after he gets out of jail this time.
