'Ex-Trump Org. official Allen Weisselberg expected to plead guilty in tax case'
Longtime Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg is expected to plead guilty to tax fraud charges as part of a possible plea deal with prosecutors investigating a scheme allegedly orchestrated "by the most senior executives" of the company.
Weisselberg, the Trump Organization's longtime chief financial officer, turned himself in to authorities last June, after prosecutors accused him of being part of the alleged tax fraud scheme.
In court documents reviewed by PEOPLE, prosecutors allege Weisselberg avoided paying taxes on more than $1.7 million in income from the Trump Organization from 2005 through this year.

The Manhattan district attorney's filing called Weisselberg "one of the largest individual beneficiaries" of the alleged tax scheme. The Trump Organization is accused of paying for the rent of Weisselberg's apartment on Riverside Boulevard as well as his utilities, garage expenses and his grandchildren's tuition, prosecutors said.
