A New York grand jury indicted Mr Weisselberg and two of the many linked companies that make up the Trump Organization as part of the long-running investigation into Mr Trump that was started under former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. The indictment laid out what prosecutors described as a “sweeping and audacious illegal payment scheme” in which the Trump companies paid generous benefits to Mr Weisselberg —including free rent, two leased luxury cars, and private school tuition for his grandchildren — with neither Mr Weisselberg nor the companies reporting the perks as compensation for tax purposes. Separetely, New York State Attorney General Letitia James has been overseeing a similarly long-running civil investigation into whether Mr Trump’s businesses improperly recieved tax benefits.
