Trumps had role in fraud scheme, Allen Weisselberg testifies at company's trial
By Graham Kates Updated on: November 18, 2022 / 3:04 PM / CBS News
[...]Weisselberg said Donald Trump, or at times Eric Trump or Donald Trump Jr., signed checks to pay up to $100,000 for private school tuition for Weisselberg's grandchildren. Weisselberg said he then instructed the company's controller to deduct the $100,000 from his salary, allowing him to report a smaller income. Copies of some of the checks signed by the Trumps have been shown in court.
