NEW YORK — Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, surrendered to the Manhattan district attorney this morning for arraignment on a new criminal charge, the prosecutor’s office said.
The district attorney didn’t immediately disclose the nature of the charge, but people familiar with the investigation had previously told The Associated Press and other news organizations that prosecutors were considering charging Weisselberg, 76, with perjuring himself during his testimony at Trump’s civil business fraud trial last October.
Weisselberg’s lawyer, Seth Rosenberg, didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
