Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg, of the Trump Organization, pleaded not guilty Thursday to tax charges in a Manhattan court after a grand jury indicted him in a case over its business dealings. Weisselberg, was charged with grand larceny in the second degree. The DA's office did not hold a news conference after the indictment was unsealed.
Weisselberg entered the courtroom with his attorney. The judge set his next court appearance for Sept. 20 at 9:30 a.m.
A Trump Organization spokesperson stated that “Weisselberg is now being used by the Manhattan District Attorney as a pawn in a scorched earth attempt to harm the former President,” the spokesperson said. “The District Attorney is bringing a criminal prosecution involving employee benefits that neither the IRS nor any other District Attorney would ever think of bringing. This is not justice; this is politics.”
