The media outlet detailed that “Mr. Weisselberg entered a guilty plea to every criminal count he faced, including grand larceny, tax fraud and conspiracy. He admitted to participating in the fraud scheme alongside another company executive and two Trump Organization corporate entities that also face criminal charges.”

New York Times explained that “the district attorney’s office has been examining whether Mr. Trump and his company fraudulently inflated the value of his real estate to obtain loans and benefits. The investigation, initially led by Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the district attorney at the time, evolved into one of the greatest legal threats Mr. Trump faced.”
