Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg made $940,000 a year from 2011 to 2018, but much of that was “off the books,” Manhattan prosecutors claim.
Former President Donald Trump’s longtime right-hand man was furnished with a luxury Upper West Side apartment, leased Mercedes for him and his wife, private-school tuition for his grandchildren and other perks totaling $1.76 million which he and his employer hid from tax authorities, according to the 15-count indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance.
