The Trump Organisation is being charged for tax-related crimes.
Chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg surrendered to Manhattan authorities yesterday, and is being charged with giving staff rent-free apartments and company cars without reporting it for tax purposes.
General counsel for the Manhattan district attorney Carey Dunne says the 15-year-long plot is “a sweeping and audacious illegal payments scheme”.
Mr Weisselberg and the Trump Organisation are pleading not guilty.
