Judge rejects a postponement of the tax fraud case against Trump Organization due to concerns of “stalling” the criminal case
Prosecutors charged Trump's company and financial officer Weisselberg in July 2021 with scheming to defraud, tax fraud and falsifying business records for awarding"off-the-books" perks to senior executives.
At a pre-trial hearing in a New York state court in Manhattan on Monday, Justice Juan Merchan warned against delaying tactics, even as a Trump Organization lawyer said the decision by longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg to plead guilty changed how the defense will present its case. The Trump Organization, which manages golf clubs, hotels and other real estate around the world, has pleaded not guilty and faces possible fines and other penalties if convicted.
"I believe that he will say that he thinks he was targeted because of his association with Donald Trump," and pleaded guilty in part from concern the targeting would continue and he would be "unfairly unpunished," Necheles said.
