The Trump Organization and its longtime chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, will go on trial Oct. 24 on tax fraud charges, after a New York state judge rejected their request to dismiss the case.
The ruling and trial date capped a week of legal threats for Donald Trump. While he isn’t a defendant in the case himself, it came on top of an FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home on Monday and a deposition by New York Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday in her civil probe of his business.
