Top Trump Accountant Had Secret Campaign Role

Daily Beast: “The prosecution has already highlighted Weisselberg’s central role, saying that they will present the accountant’s handwritten notes documenting the allegedly fraudulent reimbursement scheme that Trump is charged with carrying out. But other documents obtained by The Daily Beast suggest that Weisselberg was in a unique position among the other witnesses—not only was he handling the Trump Org’s books, he was also apparently advising the campaign at the same time.”

“Federal Election Commission records don’t show any campaign payments to Weisselberg, however, raising the prospect that Trump’s right-hand man may himself have made unreported contributions in the form of services for his 2016 bid.”

“According to internal Trumpworld emails, Weisselberg was an ‘enormous help’ to the 2016 campaign—a fact that has not appeared in previous public reporting, despite prior coverage of these same documents.”
