Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization's longtime former chief financial officer, is no longer being represented by his Trump Organization-funded attorneys.
Weisselberg, who is serving a five-month sentence in Rikers Island after pleading guilty to 15 felony counts related to a tax evasion scheme, is no longer being represented by attorneys Nick Gravante and Mary Mulligan, according to WNBC. Despite his earlier guilty plea, prosecutors have considered a new round of insurance fraud charges to try to pressure him to cooperate with the Manhattan district attorney probe into the 2016 hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, The New York Times reported last year. Weisselberg, who reportedly has direct knowledge of the hush-money payment, refused to testify against Trump at his earlier trial despite providing testimony that helped the D.A.'s office convict the Trump Organization in a tax fraud scheme.
