what sorts of messages are coming to alan weisselberg now? >> alan, listen, i know what you're going through, this is terrible, it's part of the witch hunt, you know it, i know it, stay the course, stay strong, i have your back, don't worry about the finances, we're going to take care of all of it, we're going to take care of your attorneys, do not worry, this is all nonsense, it's all the politicization of the trump organization and me, they've been fighting for years. we've been there much bigger wars than this, stay strong with me and i promise you i have your back. >> that sounds pretty persuasive. >> it sure does, but guess what? it's not true. nothing that donald trump says is true. alan will be the fall guy just as i was the fall guy. listening to these attorneys say this has never happened, it's unprecedented, it's not true. i went to prison in part for hush money payments. i went for a campaign finance violation. if you really think just because it's alan weisselberg and donald trump once again saying something, that that's going to b

make of that, because there was some analysis of how the district attorney in the morning when alan weisselberg came in and surrendered himself to the court at 6:00 a.m., there was not a lot of attention or media there, and perhaps that is the message communicated to weisselberg about respect, and perhaps not wanting to put him in the spotlight, but this is a different story, and the media there, and as you saw, handcuffed visible to anyone in the building. >> yeah, i think that sometimes people think of the decision to arrest or not arrest or to bring someone in custody as, you know, giving someone good treatment or respect, but in fact, what the prosecutors do is to make a decision of whether or not an arrest is necessary to bring someone in, because you are concerned that they are violent, that they might flee or destroy evidence or that you are conducting a search simultaneous with the arrest or take a shot with questioning him, and with alan weisselberg, there is no expectation of flight, and he is not violent, and they did not intend to execute a search warrant, and because he is represen

charges stemming from a trump organization scheme alleged to compensate chief financial officer alan weisselbergoff the books, in other words, not paying taxes. weisselberg surrendered to the manhattan d.a.'s office after a grand jury indicted him and former president trump's company. his attorney releasing a statement saying mr. weisselberg intends to plead not guilty and he will fight these charges in court. in another statement the trump organization said weisselberg is now being used by the manhattan d.a. as a pawn in a scorched earth attempt to harm the former president. we should note, the former president is not being indicted today, but when the indictment is unsealed we will learn for the first time whether prosecutors will tell the full story of their case. the so-called speaking indictment may indicate whether others are likely to be charged in the continuing grand jury probe. we caught up with cy vance this morning. >> can we get a comment? >> just good morning. see you at 2:15. >> 2:15 it is. tom winter, monica alba, chuck rosenberg, former u.s. attorney and fbi official. barbara qu

recently, it's been looking into specifically whether alan weisselberg and his son who also works forhe company avoided paying taxes on things like cars and apartments a lawyer said the charges are absolutely outrageous and politically motivated. the lawyer also said former president trump will not be charged tomorrow the former president has denounced the investigation as a witch hunt and called cy vance rude and nasty what is the company facing here? >> when you charge ha coa compa, you're not going to show up on fifth avenue and put handcuffs around one of his buildings or businesses what happens with respect to his relationship with banks and vendors and employees. do employees want to work in an organization that has been criminally charged by the manhattan district attorney. those are key questions going forward, as we know, this is an ongoing investigation as to whether there's bank fraud involved in this by the trump organization so i think the question's going to be is if there was bank fraud, and if that's something that is eventually charged it remains to be seen, chshep >>

it will be his first public appearance since his company and long-time cfo alan weisselberg were hit tors are calling a sweeping and audacious tax fraud scheme. weisselberg's lawyer said i will fight the charges. trump called the case a political witch hunt by the radical left democrats. trump himself was not charged with any wrongdoing. joining me is alan weisselberg's ex daughter-in-law. it's so good to speak with you about this. you've talked with investigators multiple times. when you read the indictment, did you recognize any of what you told them? >> yes, i did. >> can you specifically tell us, was it any of the perks that you alerted them to? >> it lined up with everything that i had given to them, it lined up with my documents exactly. it looks like 2005 is when he began living at trump place, which is riverside boulevard, which is indicated as his full-time home. everything lined up, absolutely. >> and investigators did talk about a spreadsheet that they found at trump tower that did outline some of these perks. but do you think that there would be a case here if it wasn't fo

sources tell cnn alan weisselberg is expected to turn himself in tomorrow.hat does this moment mean? >> i think what it means, don, is how effective trump's and weisselberg's lawyers have been in sort of bracing the public for the fact this was going to happen. i don't think any of us are surprised to hear it. what we don't know and i don't think the lawyers know either, is what's going to be in the indictments that are sealed. >> mm-hm. does that mean that their investigation is over or could there be subsequent charges? >> there well could be. there could be, in fact, i would expect this is an early phase. i think they're trying to obviously build a case against weisselberg that will result in him becoming a witness. he probably is the best insider for the kind of financial fraud that appears or that the inquiry is focussed on. and whether he'll flip or not, i don't know, don. he doesn't strike me as a gordon liddy type from watergate, who's going to go to jail and stay there and not speak until he can get a book contract. >> do you think the former presid

so let's check what's at the center of this indictment, and that is trump's cfo, alan weisselberg, who.7 million from tax authorities. in the grand scheme of things, $1.7 million is not a lot of money for the trump organization. why not just pay the taxes on that? why take the risk that appears to have led to this indictment? is there a mindset that you can point to from your experience? >> you know, i can't conceive of it. when you talk about trump and ivanka, they have so much money. i mean, what is it, a game to defraud the irs? i just don't understand it. allen was paid well. i think he was doing it for so long with other employees before he did it himself, that i think he just goes along with it, this is what we do, this is the way we operate, and i can benefit from this. does he know it's wrong? i hope so. he's an accountant. >> he has been reportedly spotted going back into his office at trump tower after leading, of course, not guilty to all the charges against him, 15 of which there are. can you interpret his actions in any way perhaps as a sign that he's remaining loyal to do

which says that alan weisselberg and other employees of the trump corporation quote, devised in operated a scheme to defraud federal, new york state, and new york city tax authorities. the purpose of the scheme was to compensate weisselberg and other trump organization executives in a matter that was " off the books " the scheme was intended to allow certain employees to substantially understate their compensation from the trump organization so that they could and did pay federal state and local taxes in amounts that were significantly less then the amounts that should have been paid. the defendants arranged for weisselberg to receive indirect employee compensation from the trump organization in the approximate amount of 1.76 million dollars. weisselberg then concealed the compensation from his tax prepare and intentionally omitted from his tax returns. additionally, weisselberg concealed, four years, the fact that he was a resident of new york city who was required to pay new york city income taxes. he thereby evaded approximately 556,385 dollars in federal taxes, approximately 106,568

. >>> and alan weisselberg s surrending. there's no case that donald trump or members of his family will be charged at this time. we have just received a statement from the trump organization. i want to read that to you. allen weisselberg is a love and devoted father and grandfather who worked at the organization for 48 years. the statements goes on to say the district attorney is being cour used as a pawn. this is not justice this is politics. again, that statement coming in from the trump organization. joining us now, jennifer weisselberg, a former daughter-in-law of alan weisselberg. she's provided them with materials related to the trump organization. so at this point this morning, i'm curious, jennifer, your reaction to that your former father-in-law has now surrendered and we're awaiting the details of this indictment. >> i'm interested to see how broad it is. i think the d.a. has done a good job. i'm not surprised the indictment has come today, but to back pedal on what you said, he's been using my kids and leverage,

flip, mary trump, trump's piece, has speculated that ivanka would be more likely to flip than alan weisselberga lot of people have been talking about the possibility that she could turn on her father. i don't really know anything about that one way or the other, other than what everybody else has been talking about. but certainly you apply pressure to anybody and a lot of things can happen. >> and i want to take issue with the word flip, not the way you're saying it. another former representative of the trump organization said it's not really flipping, it's just asking to tell the truth. that's what they're looking for, just tell the truth. let's make that point. but can i ask you, is ignorance and saying i didn't know, is that a plausible defense? >> really not ever in a lot of cases like this, but especially not here. we're not talking about a giant company where there were a lot of people and the top executives didn't know the details. the trump organization in new york, at trump tower, is only at any point a dozen to a few dozen top executives that own and run the trump organization, which

those indictments against the trump organization and cfo alan weisselberg expected to be unsealed todayltiple sources with knowledge of the case tell nbc news prosecutors have been looking into whether company employees, including weisselberg, evaded taxes on fringe benefits like cars and apartments as part of the scheme by the trump organization to pay compensation off the books. neither weisselberg nor his attorney have willing commented on the charges but an attorney for trump told nbc news that the charges are completely outrageous and being pursued only because weisselberg would not cooperate with prosecutors against the former president. weisselberg's former daughter-in-law who says she's provided relevant doctors to the d.a.'s office and spoken multiple times with investigators now predicting mr. trump might eventually face charges. >> do you believe that the former president himself holds any liability here? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> i believe he'll be indicted. >> reporter: the former president denouncing the investigation as a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of

one of the allegations is alan weisselberg did not pay taxes on $1.7 million beginning in 2005.ording to prosecutors, one way he did not pay taxes is he concealed that he was a new york city resident. another allegation is he lived rent free in an apartment provided in new york city by the trump organization. they said the scheme also involved secret pay raises. one of the prosecuted called it a sweeping and audacious illegal payment scheme. quite a contrast to what you just heard from lawyers for weisselberg and for the trump organization where they are making this into a political case. one of the attorneys, the general counsel for the district attorney's office said in court that this is not about politics. politics has no role in the grand jury and it played no role here. but they also said this was a scheme that weisselberg was involved with that was known by the company at the top of the company. one of the big questions people have is why was the company indicted in this. they addressed that by saying the company did not cooperate. it took them to court for nearly two yea

ago, a manhattan grand jury indicting the jump organization and its chief financial officer alan weisselberg. that according to people familiar with the matter, those charges expected to be unsealed tomorrow. we're going to be bringing you all the latest on that as well. >>> and there is the house -- the house that voted tonight create a select committee to investigate the insurrection at the capital on january 6th. the vote to absolutely no one's surprise, almost entirely along party lines. just two republicans, liz cheney, adam kinzinger voting with democrats to learn the truth about what happened on one of the darkest days in american history. the rest of the gop trying to sweep everything under the rug as they have been doing lately, just sweeping it on to a big memory hole, just like senate republicans did last month, claiming the select committee would be partisan, which is garbage. gop deniers don't care about bipartisanship at all. if they did, they would have voted for that independent bipartisan commission last month. see that commission had the name in it, bipartisan. but they did

what does it take to flip somebody called alan weisselberg.s have to bring to bear to even get of trump or members of trump's family. >> you said it right, jason, and it's loyalty. is he going to remain loyal to the trumps who he's been with for decades, or is he going to try to save his own hide? if you look at the indictment, the evidence against him looks fairly strong. on the other hand, the man is about to turn 74 years old, and the threat of any jail time has to be imposing. >> it doesn't even matter if it's a low-security prison or an ankle bracelet. i want to go back to your book, because i think i think so. in your mind, was his desire to remain completely loyal to donald trump prevent local, and even federal prosecutors, from looking into the trump organization in the last couple years and he's falling to people after trump left office. >> i do. he is one of the most powerful offenders and he lied to many of his colleagues, starting with the mueller report and moving on from there. this revisionist history lives among us, and the per

sandra: the "wall street journal" is reporting the trump organization removed financial chief alan weisselberged him of a tax fraud scheme. now this. >> we provide public health information and make determinations based on a large swath of data. that relates to booster shots as well. any assessment would be made by the cdc and the fda. we made clear last week that wasn't a recommendation. >> the drug maker looks to mays the case that a covid-19 vaccine booster shot is needed. health officials including dr. fauci say it's too soon to recommend a third dose. they have not ruled out the possibility for it in the future. will a booster shot be necessary? john hopkins school of public health and fox news medical contributor, dr. marty makary. you've been with us through this pandemic. we felt relief, those of us that rushed off to get the vaccine. we got the two shots and now left wondering are we going through that again in some capacity or will a booster shot be needed? especially come winter and fall. >> sandra, i don't think so for the general population. we're already giving boosters to people

appearance comes after a grand jury returned a 15 count indictment against the trump organization and alan weisselbergow do you assess those legal issues and their impact on the former president's political future? >> well, this is the real question, isn't it, might? these are serious charges against the organization, against weisselberg but the real thing to think about is what comes next and that's kind of what we're looking for, right? and so are there going to be more charges? this investigation is ongoing. one key thing that a lot of experts point to is whether mr. weisselberg might testify against the former president and so far he's giving no indication that he will do that but certainly the threat of prison time is at play now, so i think those of the things that we have to think about going forward but even for now, this certainly casts a shadow over trump as he -- you know, as he moves forward and really tries to with these rallies -- we saw him in florida last night and ohio during the week, he's really trying to start up his political organization again, increased profile, do a lot more he

alan weisselberg was the exception, because he was programly a son to fred trump and all but a brothernt. >> we'll see how much further that trust extends. thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >>> the indictment is set to be unsealed this afternoon in a manhattan courtroom. we'll speak with someone who is very family with the investigation. >>> and the house has narrowly approved a special committee looking into january 6th next. will any rpgs serve on the co committee? there's an america we build and one we discover. one that's been tamed and one that's forever wild. but freedom means you don't have to choose just one adventure. ♪ ♪ you get both. introducing the wildly civilized all-new 3-row jeep grand cherokee l. ♪ ♪ uno, dos, tres, cuatro!

the trump organization, as well as its chief financial officer, alan weisselberg, joining us right now the northern district of alabama, joyce vance. i listened to your podcast episode that just dropped today. i encourage everybody to listen to it because you guys tackle a bunch of issues, including this one, and you say weisselberg isn't looking at a lot of jail time if convicted. as to whether he could flip, you pointed to others who said they wouldn't but did. did you elaborate? >> it's an interesting issue that prosecutors face. what do you do when you're building your way up the chain, you've got someone you need to become a witness, but they're resistant to cooperating with you. so the reality here is that what weisselberg ultimately faces under this indictment if he's convicted is most likely a sentence in low single digits, and he may have decided he certainly would have been well aware of that during negotiations before indictment, so he may have well decided that that's something that he can deal with. but what you're referring to and what i think is really interesting here i

. >> so, he is going to plead not guilty, alan weisselberg. ever goes to trial, it is, it's already a case that failed to achieve perhaps what the d.a. achieved. this is intended to be a building block. explain. >> correct. well, he can plead not guilty, and he is pleading not guilty, but that does not mean that latesha james does not have a case, and they have materials to rely on, and the fact that he is not assisting them at this point in the prosecution is not surprising, but it is not a deal-breaker for them in any shape or form, because they do have the documents that are necessary. one thing they want to point out is that these cases can start very small. they can start at a low level and really then move up. in fact, in 20 years ago in a very office of the manhattan district attorney, they brought a case against dennis kos lou -- koslowski who was a powerful ceo of a company, and they brought a case of evading sales tax on high-priced paintings that he had brought, and pretended to ship to new hampshire instead of new york so that he w

trump organisation chief financial officer alan weisselberg, you can see him leaving court here, he'she best of the sunshine today was in scotland, but across parts of southwest england, it was also glorious for a time. however, elsewhere, we've seen a few showers pop up. not many, but if you were under one of these bigger clouds, i'm sure those showers would've been quite heavy, particularly across parts of hampshire and sussex as well. so, there are the shower clouds on the satellite picture, butjust zooming a little bit further west. you don't have to go too far west to find some thicker cloud. this is an area of low pressure that's going to be moving our way in time for the weekend, flicking bands of rain across the country. now, before we get there, overnight tonight, it's looking like a dry night for most areas with just a few mist and fog patches forming. there'll be some thicker cloud developing as well. temperatures mild, 12—14 degrees quite widely. little cooler for north east england and northern scotland — temperatures down to about eight here. any mist patches should clea

alan didn't do anything without discussing it with him. they did it together. some folks have suggested this is an effort to get allen weisselbergn essence, calling the prosecutor's bluff. you and i spoke a few weeks ago about this and whether or not he would be willing to film. do you think he is now? the charges are still there. this is not just a big hoax do i think there's a better chance now? i would say my answer would be, absolutely yes. >>> cristkristin snell said thi especially in white collar cases where there's usually a trove of business records. it's the receipts that make great cases. i know you have handed over a heck of a lot of receipts, troves of documents to prosecutors. can you tell us at all what it is you have handed over? >> so financials in my divorce, but there's seven boxes, as well as electronic sets, records with tax returns dating back to 2004, 2005. statements of net worth that have been signed, multiple depositions, testimony, bank accounts, subpoenaed bank accounts, information, expenses leading into the -- thing like that. i like what she said, it's true. it's base on bank accounts we've discover
