hi everyone, it s 4:00 in new york as we come on the air, we are following breaking news. at this hour, one of the disgraced twice impeached ex-president s closest advisers, allen weisselberg is on route to the notorious rikers island. if he hasn t arrived already. he s been sentenced to five months behind bars for executing a tax scheme. he had been facing up to 15 years in prison but struck a deal with prosecutors pleading guilty to 15 felony counts including tax fraud, conspiracy and grand larceny, and agreeing to testify against the trump org, though notably not against the big boss, donald hymn or any of his family. weisselberg who is 75 years old has been with the trump org for 50 years. technically he was the chief financial officer, but cfo doesn t capture how central he is to the trump org and the shady transactions or how complicit he was in the dirty dealings of the ex-president. nobody knows that better than michael cohen who had and has and has shared the receipt
