https://www.axios.com/2024/04/10/trump-organization-allen-weisselberg-jailFormer Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg was sentenced Wednesday to five months in jail for lying under oath during the New York civil fraud investigation involving former President Trump and others, multiple outlets reported.
Why it matters: The sentencing comes just over a month after Weisselberg pleaded guilty to two perjury counts. He will now serve a second stint in jail.
State of play: Weisselberg's conviction Wednesday was connected to an interview he gave to the New York attorney general's office in the lead up to the civil fraud case.
He will serve his sentence in New York City's Rikers Island jail complex.
Weisselberg had also been charged with three additional counts of perjury, but he avoided pleading guilty to those counts under the terms of the plea deal.
