Quote from Andrea Bernstein .... PBS NEWSHOUR 8/18/22 "So, just a little over a year ago, the Manhattan district attorney charged Mr. Weisselberg with 15 felonies. Basically, the scheme was, which lasted over 15 years, was for him to lie about his income, to say it was much lower than it actually was, by taking his income in things like a luxury apartment, Mercedes-Benzes for him and his wife and private school tuition for his children, thereby avoiding taxes on millions of dollars". And what he pleaded guilty to was everything from scheme to defraud, a scheme that lasted, he admitted today, from 2005 to 2021, during the entire time when his boss Donald Trump was president., of course, Donald Trump never divested from his business. So he was still at the top of the corporate structure at the time that these crimes were committed.
