- Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, is in talks to potentially plead guilty to a perjury charge related to a civil investigation into the real estate company’s finances, people familiar with the matter said. CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig discusses with CNN's Kaitlan Collins. #CNN #News
Why is everyone going to jail except the con man, lock his @ss up
Ikr , like wtf.... Some of his cases already found him guilty. The justice system is a effing joke
Well, they don't want him on perjury. They want him on the four indictments. The wheels of justice turn slow, but they're turning...
Give it time. Tick Tock MAGA. Tick Tock!
Who has Trump con? Please explain.
I guess no one told them just how impatient you were feeling. Now that you've written this comment, I'm sure they'll get right on it.
Weisselberg deserves jail time and no plea agreement!!!
Yep - He reneged on the original deal by choosing to obstruct prosecutors and not answer their questions truthfully.
Send his sorry as back to Rikers to spend the rest of his life there.
@cryhardertrollbotlolkool-aide drinking again! 😂

I did the same cognitive test with my Cat and he aced it, and he can also lick his balls.
30 years of complete financial fraud = only 100 days in jail. That sounds like a hell of a bargain to me. No wonder why they keep doing it.
Because we're not equal before the law
30 years of complete financial fraud, p***y grabbing and much more and 0 days in jail for Trump.
Joe Biden has more than that with money laundering.
Yep.
5yrs jail. Minimum. This is insane! They keep getting free passes. My brother got 2 yrs for jumping a fence to see his girlfriend. He is 17!!!! Where is the justice 😡😡🤬🤬🤬
And that 2 million dollar bonus.
What does it take to enforce the "Rule of Law, and All Equal Before the Law?"
I have no idea! In the USA it seems impossible to do that.
That is a most excellent question 👏🏾👍🏾🇨🇦
Not living in the USA is the only chance.
As you're Joe Biden is starting f****** wars all around the world.
Us to vote blue for starts
It must be humiliating to discover that you’re 76 years old and that “Wha? I’m going to prison for Donald again? “ What a way to spend your last years.
Justice for the 40yrs living high on the hog.
@@cryhardertrollbotlolyou wish child.
Last YEARS!? Trumps 78 and Biden is 80!!! 76 is your youth where you start running for office lol
@@eldenringer6466 Two things: You clearly didn’t hear the actual discussion they had and I wasn’t referring to Trump or Biden.
@@cryhardertrollbotlolwinning the race? Biden is gonna get all the independent votes, all the Democrat votes, and all Nikki Haley's votes in the general election.....trump is only gonna get the uneducated percent of the Republican party, so yeah you and all your friends might think he's gonna win cuz your stupid enough to believe anything he says and vote for him, but the rest of country is gonna enjoy watching the crybaby lose again
100 days for 15 years of tax fraud sounds ridiculous.
It's a two tiered justice system.
Look at this bot.@cryhardertrollbotlol
The original deal was that he had to testify at the trial and answer every question truthfully. He knew at the time that if he lied he would end up back in prison. I guess it was better to get his testimony and actually be able to charge donald, considering that Weisselberg's, what, 76 or something? I hope that $1M "severance" cheque was worth it.
@@byteresistoryes the courts need to stop babying Trump
Crime does pay! You get out of prison after a hundred days and you still probably got millions of dollars stashed away.
When will these liars and cheaters all be held accountable???
They are being held accountable: getting convicted, fined and jailed is part of accountable.
Not seeing that happen yet for Maga Congress members.... while Justice is taking forever, they just continue to wreck up and destroy as much as possible on their way out? Why is the Republican party still allowed to have 45 destroy America? U.S. policies have consequences worldwide, these morons need to be OUT of governement!!! @@wendigo53
Not in our lifetime. The country needs a bold , a courageous advocate For justice for ALL, and sadly M Garland is not the man for this time.
When Donald Trump gets in office. That's why Democrats In office That screwed America. don't want him To become President 2024, go Donald Trump hold them accountable.
5yrs jail. Minimum. This is insane! They keep getting free passes. My brother got 2 yrs for jumping a fence to see his girlfriend. He is 17!!!! Where is the justice 😡😡🤬🤬🤬
Wow.
That is outrageous!!!! You and your family and people in jail for minor offenses must be so enraged that the Trump circle are not equal under the law.. it’s dreadful!!!!!!
What fence?
Amazing job by the journalist
"Triplex" does NOT mean you can triple the floor area and value.
It’s a facade, he’s fake from his hair to his shoes!
Hopefully “Weasel-berg” is sent back to Rikers, this time in general population rather than protective custody.
Like that hyphen word.
Not if he gets immunity 2 testify against the diaperbaby
And for years this time!!!
PC is a joke.They want,they find you.😅
Wake up America. Throw him and jail and lets get back to normal. I cant wait till hes gone.
I think HE is affecting everybodys mental health everywhere
@@anoodono1841I know! I heard foreign leaders are making preparations in case trump is re-elected on how to deal with the us and world. Yikes!
You are correct, Joe Biden and his whole crime. Family needs to go go to jail. Treason
Hope they are so we can b ready@islanddolphin6878
Served 100 day sentence for 15 years of corporate fraud. Sounds fair. Right.

@@cryhardertrollbotlol I see you are still "whining" and guzzling the kool-aid because Crooked Conald is no longer president and trying to escape prison!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to white collar crime justice.
What's troubling is the fact that so many people think that all of this should simply be ignored. How is it that so many people will defend the wealthy and powerful, for acts that they themselves would be held accountable for?
EXACTLY!!!
Their lives are so pathetic that they "live vicariously" through his..😢
NO
Chump tried to look down on Caitlin. However, Caitlin will still have a good career while Donnie sit in jail.
Caitlin sucked up to Trump in that notorious town hall
He had a severance package that required him to not cooperate with law enforcement. That makes it seem like he was working for a criminal organization for some reason.
Michael Cohen is laughing.
Trump will be demolished very soon. Its inevitable. If only he was a decent person with good morals, stop spending his time dividing the nation and worked to improve lives for all, knew when to stop lying, been a good business man, stopped sexually assaulting women, inderstood his civic duties, paid his taxes, stop conning his fellow business men and pay his bills, stop cozying up to our adversaries for personal financial gain and selling them our state secrets, knew how to run a country, tell the truth that he knew the 2020 election was not rigged, understood the Constitution, then he may have had a chance at a second term in office, but when tallying up the afore mentioned we all know he will be a ONE term president.
@@cryhardertrollbotlolha! All these plea agreements are made based on their agreement to testify against Donny - let’s see who is crying at the end….
Why does this guy keep going into the slammer for Trump, while Trump escapes? Taking the heat off Habba for one night! What a crew!
It was on the news, trump gave him a severance package of 1m after he was sent to jail.
He was paid by Trump to go to jail. Let's see how he's going to weasel his way out of this one.
I wonder if trump thought that the cfo taking the blame, would keep him out of court. Also if trump had something on the cfo to get him to do it.
A cushy cell with cable and internet for a few weeks for 10 million bribe is a sweet deal...I'll take it.
With all these with all these indictments, it amazes me. The Trump is still walking around and not being held till he goes to trial.. doesn’t anybody want to stand up to this man?
With four indictments, if they get him on three, isn’t that 3 strikes and life imprisonment?
Not sure about that but Bubba likes the way you think.
I want Trump put into stocks in lower Manhattan and the public can come and throw cabbages and tomato at him
Trump won't do 5 seconds in prison. Even if ONE of those 3 trials convict him, he just gets home confinement for life. in his aunties cheap shack in florida. That's fine with me.
@@ohreally8929 🤭
He's not black
This was strategic by Weisselberg to get out of appearing for the prosecution. He needs to be punished severely this time and sent away for a good long stretch. No concessions for age or infirmity or anything else. If he wants to protect Trump, he has to pay the price.
George Conway is a great guest.
He's a cling-on. Without Trump, he's just some divorced ,average, low-key bigot, bitter, old white dude.
Compared to Trump, however, he's. Regular Travis kelce.
I bet he really likes his own voice on TV.
@@cryhardertrollbotlol - uh oh...sounds like you plan to commit murder to get even like other Trump followers
@@cryhardertrollbotlolthe only cry baby is you and your 78 year old infant
Kellyanne not so much
Kellyanne not so much
At his trial Weisselberg was convicted and spent time in Rikers. His attorney cut a deal pleading his advanced age and willingness to testify honestly. He got out of Rikers after a wrist slap and then committed perjury under oath in the civil case when he was called as a witness.
Weaselberg spent his whole time in Rikers in PC Protective Custody, my sources tell me.
Put him back in Prison TO STAY!
Like a drunk driver who gets a slap on the wrist and causes another accident.
Exactly - they should cancel the deal and put him away
Thank You
An accurate summary 👍
Not at all suspect to have a "Do not cooperate with law enforcement" clause in a severance package. ...and 40% of the country can't see that he's nothing but a crook.
50% of the country have a below average IQ so when looked at that way...
They can see it, they just don’t care because he hates the same people they hate

„That 2 million severance package good only if he doesn’t talk in law enforcement investigation unless legally required“ is so telling
That does sound like something that could be brought up in New York, and argued as relevant to the question "Should any Trump ever be allowed to do business in this state again?"

George Conway is looking so much better these days
You would probably look better too if you left your wife who supports Trump over you. As much as he can't stand Trump, and you know she knew that and then she takes a job being his liar in chief, knowing her own husband works in the justice world? Her own daughter threatened to file paperwork to destroy the legal relationship between her and Kelly Ann, and when that threat didn't work, she started acting up and posting viral videos of it on the internet and that was all it took, Kelly Ann gave her notice to trump and quit working at the white house, saving the relationship between her and her daughter, but it was too late for her and George. Obviously George has quit sitting at home alone and stuffing his face over the misery of his wife putting Trump before her husband and kids. Its a good thing, George has a smile on his face way more often these days, and I have even seen him laugh since he left her, things you never saw him do before.
George is looking better because he reclaimed his life from KellyAnne Conway.He has got his spirit back Go George you deserve some happiness in your life👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏼❤️
Wieselburge is the Sammy the bull of the Trump organization
Call him Sammy the bullshite 😆
Yes,he knows where all the body's are:No Disrespect to Sammy ✌️
Could be..
Wonderful news! And journalism.
06:10. Conway explains that we often see people lying on Trump’s behalf. Conway knows that this comment applies equally to his ex-wife, Kelly Anne Conway, the woman who invented the term “alternate facts” to explain how Trump’s tiny inauguration attendance was actually huge and manly.
Dump's tiny what?
I wonder if Donnie bothers to pick up the phone when people who went to prison for him phone him from prison.
If he does imagine how the conversation goes:
Donnie: So how are things with you?
Donnie's associate: I'm in prison so there's that.
Donnie: That's nice. Anyway, I've got to go. It's my turn to putt.
Don't forget to send your monthly cheque towards my campaign".
Luv it
Hilarious 😂😂😂
Weisselbergs severage package contained an agreement not to comply with law enforcement if contacted.
Tells you everything you need to know about Trumps crime ring.
That condition is unenforceable by Trump. Weasel is a Muppet to have believed it..or anything connected to dump. An illegal condition in a contract is a 'nullity.'
*severance package.
OMG! This AW Guy is screwed, he’s going to die in jail. The judge in the NY DA civil case should recalled back to the stand under oath to admits his lies and explain under oath what was he lying about and prove evidence as proof he’s now testified to the truth by way of supporting documents to validate. I believe before making his ruling on the case so he can punish the Trump organizations where matters and ban them from doing business in NY.
@@sidwalters7233- I think if many of his enablers went to jail, it could set an example. I want to see a lot more of them in jail.
Clause is unenforceable as against public policy. If you sign and then speak to law enforcement that clause can't be enforced in court. Best to get money in hand before tt law enforcement.
IDK. it’s taken so long for the justice system to press charges, I have my doubts if he’ll be convicted of anything. I think our slow motion justice system is deliberate. The Constitution and federal laws of gone by the wayside.
These cases will be reviewed by historical and legal scholars for generations to come. They have to make sure every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed.
Yes some of these are obviously politic motivated coz trump is obvious trying to run for president he Joe was wiser he should pardon trump so trump can not say they are targeting him
I so agree with you $$$$$$$$$ and political power triumphs over the rule of law in the USA
Our justice system was designed to make it extremely difficult for the government to convict a person of a crime. Want an example: Look at the OJ case.
Thank you SO MUCH for not referring to him as president or former president today. So thankful you dropped that. trump does not deserve ANY respect.
Does America need a mental evaluation ?
Long over due
House of Donald going down
DT must have made AW an offer he couldn't refuse.
Honig is my best man on CNN. I love that guy. Hardly ever biased
This is excellent, refreshing, proactive reporting. Well done CNN and NYT!
Kaitlin Collins is embodiment of looking forward.., she received heavy criticism for interviewing Trump, but she kept moving forward and kept getting better
I said the same thing when CNN did the Trump “town hall”. A lot of blues scolded CNN, saying they shouldn’t be giving him airtime. But Trump said a lot of things in that town hall that prosecutors can use against him.
The more you let Trump talk, the deeper he buries himself.
... and people keep taking clips from that Trump town hall, and will be for years. It exposed that Trump is just as loony and corrupt as ever. That's journalism.
That town hall disgusted me so much. I don't see much improvement in Ms Collins attitude. She still sucks up to Trump ( as her bosses wished)
@daydays12 are u for real? She has composure.
@@daydays12 Really! In the town hall, she was respectful, but I didn't see her "sucking up", she fact-checked him a bunch of times. At the end Trump trashed her, so HE also didn't think she was "sucking up".
Trump’s case will show if our justice system can be trusted.
You've not seen enough? 😮

That 48 million dollar ghost loan is one of concern too. Where was this man during all of this?
Bravo ⚖️ 💪 👏
Weaselberg jumping ship is an indication that trump is running out of money. Loyalty ain’t free.
Thank god for women reporters who dont need melania cat eyes to feel confident.

Man, you know it's bad when they're going after him about square feet...
20,000 of them imaginary. At least the 20,000 imaginary sq feet were not decorated in the worst possible taste.
I thought the very same thing as i was listening. Surely the other charges n Florida (national security) and interfering with ballots shld b taking priority by now.?
I knew as soon as he was talking about a small hands and how there wasn't a problem, That's when I knew he was probably over inflating things
Elie Honig is the best. I'll watch any video he's in. His explanations are so clear and intelligent.
And there is NOTHING here which explains Weisselberg plea deal triggering Judge Ergorons delay, Braggs case is unrelated to the NY AG case!
Weisselburg was a “key” defense witness for trump before Judge Engoron. It goes to the credibility Weisselburg’s testimony in that case . .he’s about to find out how judges react to witnesses lying on the witness stand. 😂
Alan, enjoy Rikers 2.0.
That wasn’t a severance pay, it was a bribe.
Kaitlin Collins does such a terrific job of reporting. Trump must go down.
Perjury. Why doesn’t it surprise me that in a case related to rump that charge would come up. “On pain of perjury” has to mean something. And, it surprises me not that would have rump’s “mates” lied for him. he kinda asks EVERYONE to lie for him. That’s “his thing”.
Speaking of this bizarre " severance agreement" it reminds me of what Greg Cohn, Trump's chief economic advisor in the early years said: "No one will survive the first year but his family. I hate the work, but feel I need to stay because I'm the only person there with a clue what he's doing. The reason so few jobs have been filled is that they only accept people who pass ridiculous purity tests, even for midlevel policy-making jobs where the people will never see the light of day. I am in a constant state of shock and horror."
George Conway is circling the drain as far as conjecturing why Weisselberg keeps loyal to Trump even now. Once you open the door, it leads to further crimes. They don't refer to Trump's style as mob boss foe nothing.
*Gary. ✌🏼He also called Trump a “f*****g idiot”. (As did dozens of Trump’s advisors, staff and cabinet members). A president being called an “idiot” or a “moron” by their own staff and cabinet members is pretty telling.
Allan Wieselberg originally received a 15 YEAR SENTENCE as a mandatory minimum but only had to serve 5 months if he agreed to testify in upcoming investigations and trials. I remember that the judge admonished him over and over that if he did not tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth that the judge would consider reinstating the 15-year minimum. He should be worried.
and the judge should give him the full amont of time....especially because he lied and by doing so he didn't keep his end of the qgreement. Remember that the judge made that agreement before he realized weasel had also logged in the books that his wife was employed at the dcompany too and then submitted fake paychecks to the IRS in order for both he and his wife who did not work, could also collect her monthly social security "earned income" in her retirement days? The judge said at his sentencing that had he realized that he would not have madde that agreement for sentencing tyo that amount of time, because he was pisssed that weasel was stealing from the people EVEN AFTER his employment ended with trum just so that his wife could have a benefit that she never earned or paid into in any way. So now is the chance to fix it judge....what say you now?
@@Maria-bd2mm I remember that. I believe he gave her fake paychecks to the tune of $6,000 per month. If only it was that easy for everyone else!
And as we all recall after he got out of Rikers Island Mr Weisselberg was paid $2 million dollars from the Trump accounts.
Great panel! Collins and Honig would make great co-hosts for prime-time.
Collins sucks up to Trump
Thats weird -i saw a connection there too and being female i noticed her slip on her words there towards the end!
The Trump Former CFO has already been to Prison. I don’t think he wants to return to prison.
I love Kaitlan Collins.
So when did Trump stop paying Weisselberg's salary?
How could anyone vote for Stinky! We need better schools!
yeah, imagine Trump sending his private detectives to obviously follow you around, day after day... "I know where you are"
If Kaitlyn Collins keeps up her honesty, I believe she will make a difference in the world with her get to the truth journalism. She is pretty and smart!
Cnn keeps talking about Trump giving him attention he need
LMAO - Trump is ordered to pay $88.3 million because he can't stop talking about E Jean Carroll, obviously he has a serious problem.

how was the cfo give such a short sentence if he is not 'useful' for the justice?
Everything Honig says never pans out.
😅 yeah 💯..10 out of 10 times it's BS.
Trying to be smart too smart but his opinions always peters out and proven wrong.. 😂
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who thought Honig is full of it. He misleads people on a lot of things.
Yea....tRump 60yr crime spree of nonpayment for services & fraudulent enrichment of himself, his family and companies in NYC is a victimless crime according to Honig.....people who are not rich enough to avail themselves of the legal representation of lawyers such as Honig and fight back against tRumps calculated gaming of the legal system against them are just nonentities according to them both
And everything the orange turd says is a lie!
Thats a fact!
Trump: Who's Wisselberg, i never met him 😂😂...guaranteed!!!
Thanks Mr. Alexander! Excellent!
“Weisselberg?? I don’t think I really know him… Maybe he got coffee for the office a few times…”

Oh wow a hundred days . A normal person would spend years in prison .
Please, do not confuse being loyal with being well paid to pie.for Trump and assume the guilt.

Why do only small fishes (in comparison) go to prison?
Lock him up. 5 years would be a dead sentence to old man.
I can't believe he wants to go back to Rikers.
