Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s former chief financial officer, was sentenced to five months in prison after he admitted to lying during the ex-president’s New York civil fraud trial.
Weisselberg, 76, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court Wednesday morning for a two-minute sentencing hearing before Judge Laurie Peterson.
The ex-Trump money wizard, wearing a black jacket and blue sweatpants, did not make a statement in court. He was cuffed and led away from the hearing by court officers.
