The House intelligence community intends to call the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer to testify, the Daily Beast reports.
“Allen Weisselberg received renewed congressional attention after disgraced Trump fixer Michael Cohen on Wednesday repeatedly mentioned the Trump Org CFO as crucial to various aspects of dubiously legal practices by the president, from the Stormy Daniels hush-money payments to potential insurance fraud.”
President Trump said Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, didn’t betray him when he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in their investigation into Michael Cohen, Bloomberg reports.
Said Trump: “100 percent he didn’t. He’s a wonderful guy.”
“Trump’s comments were his first public remarks about Weisselberg since news broke last week that he had received immunity in a federal investigation into the finances of Cohen, the president’s former lawyer and fixer.”
