his former cfo alan weisselberg, sent back to jail. a new five month sentence over perjury, basically lied about fraud in the new york a.g.'s case. he's paid the price repeatedly. now, this is also relevant to next week's big hush money criminal trial for trump because evidence links him and former trump lawyer michael cohen to trump's plot. cohen says weisselberg arranged those damning misleading reimbursements from trump to cohen, which are now part of the indictments stating cohen had spoken to weisselberg about setting up a company to conceal the transactions. now, cohen is clearly ready to incriminate trump in court. if trump had wanted to call wiseal -- why would a jury believe a trump convict who just admitted perjury? that's how the d.a. could neutralize any potential testimony by this apparent trump ally. now, trump's lawyers might similarly try to attack cohen's credibility. he and his legal advisor, lanny davis, argue, however, that cohen came clean a long time against trump and that cohen has receipts to back up his story.
