attention because last week the reports were that he went into the state grand jury and he is the controller of the trump organization. so, again, all speculation, but clearly you re looking for an insider. that s why there is so much focus on allen wiseleberg trying to get somebody who is on the inside who would know where every penny went. well, that s the controller as well as the cfo. so if jeff mccconnie is cooperating, that is really bad news potentially for wiseleberg and for the trump organization and other individuals up to and including the former president. in other words, manhattan may have found their insider because it would be unusual to put somebody like mcconnie into the state grand jury where he would be given immunity as soon as he testifies automatically if they didn t think that he had something useful to provide.
because think about it, that s what they were doing. wiseleberg was now faking and play acting in business, even seeming to help trump brainstorm some of his lines. you have to find a way to communicate with your ceo or leader and convince him or her that a change is necessary. i agree with you and i stay in the path of destruction doesn t work. the fact that you lost the communication system and as alan said, if this were a military operation, you would have been wiped out. that was really terrible. as alan said, so that was point one. allen weisselberg likes that when that happens. he likes it when trump quotes him. he needs that job and, boy, has he tried to earn it but earn it on trump s terms. point number two is about the work. wiseleberg is the eyes and ears of trump org. he knows everything. he s literally the, quote, only nonfamily member tasked to help
he leaves office. so do you think indicting the president as soon as he leaves is going to be the first thing prosecutors are going to do? listen, it depends on the most important thing in front of the fdny that happens when donald trump leaves office. i disagree with chris christie. if you remember that michael cohen indictment last year, unindicted co-con spiritor was donald trump. another person that could do in donald trump other than michael cohen who we haven t heard from yet is allen wiseleberg. he has immunity given to him by the sdny, which is exactly the agency that chris christie has been talking about in terms of building up a case against donald trump. wiseleberg knows. he s been the money man for donald trump since 1973. he knows where all of the literal financial bodies have been buried.
allen wiseleberg, matthew cali march ri. where would the committee find more information on this? do you think we need to review his financial statements and his tax returns in order to compare them? yes, and you d find it at the trump org. a-1, by the way, for brevity. his answers were brief. let me go through and make you guys my new oversight and government reform committee. jennifer, who would you want to call next? what witness comes next? allen wiseleberg. he s the man with all the numbers. he s the guy inside the trump organization. he would know about money laundering, he would know about bank fraud, he would know about tax evasion. jimmy williams, who do you call? i would call any contractor for the trump organization, specifically lawyers and accountants for any entity that trump owns. all about the benjamins. who do you call, jason johnson? i would i would call the appraiser but i also want to give a shout out to alexandria
allen wiseleberg is the trump organization s chief financial officer, david pecker and talking about the karen mcdougal catch and kill arrangement. there is a report that they kept a safe on other damaging stories it killed, as part of its relationship with donald trump. here to talk about it, jeffrey toobin. you wrote a lengthy piece in the new yorker, i recall, about david pecker. i did. what do you think about this, that there s a safe, potential information that david pecker or ami would have on donald trump is enormous. david pecker is very open with me including talking about karen mcdougal saying, we supported donald trump and i wanted to help him by making this deal with karen mcdougal. that may it s certainly not unlawful to support a candidate,
