Jacob Shamsian

Jennifer Weisselberg is cooperating with an investigation into Trump's finances, her lawyer says.
She's the former daughter-in-law of Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Org CFO the DA wants to "flip."
"Jennifer refuses to be silenced any longer," her lawyer told Insider in a statement.

An attorney representing the former daughter-in-law of the Trump Organization's CFO, Allen Weisselberg, says she's cooperating with prosecutors conducting an inquiry into Donald Trump's finances and "refuses to be silenced."

Jennifer Weisselberg "is committed to speaking the truth, no matter how difficult that may be," her attorney, Duncan Levin, told Insider in a statement. "She will continue to cooperate fully with the various law-enforcement agencies that are investigating her ex-husband's family and the very powerful interests they represent."

"Jennifer refuses to be silenced any longer by those who are conspiring to prevent her from sharing what she has learned over the past 25 years," Levin added.

[lagomorph777]

1. I wonder how much she knows?

Interesting...

[Wednesdays]

2. I wonder if she has protection?

[lagomorph777]

3. Yeah, good point.

[Sinistrous]

5. My first thought was that she is in grave danger

of being epsteined.

[PatSeg]

12. Yes, same here

[Karadeniz]

34. My first thought, too.

[dchill]

36. AND how much she can prove.

[Maeve]

4. This is better than many of the shows on tv

[uponit7771]

7. RIGHT !?!? That's the one guilt I take out of this horridness that the movie should be good

[FoxNewsSucks]

11. With all the shit MF45, Moscow Mitch, and criminal associates have done,

it won't just be one movie, it'll take a 30 hour miniseries.

[Mr.Bill]

15. But who will play Trump in the movie?

I'm thinking Pee Wee Herman.

[Pinback]

37. Gotta be Rosie O'Donnell

Pee-Wee Herman could play Melania, or maybe Pence.

[Mr.Bill]

38. I like it.

[Grasswire2]

42. 0h if only someone could photoshop that....hahahaha Rosie as Donald. nt

[housecat]

17. or movies -- too much to cram into one without losing impact

[COL Mustard]

44. Cue It Up.

You know this has been in your head too!

[uponit7771]

6. I pray for her life and protection

[live love laugh]

41. +1 ... that's the first thing that popped into my mind. nt

[LittleGirl]

8. I wonder if 45 hit on her?

Maybe she’s out to get revenge?
Pass the popcorn please. Lol

[KS Toronado]

9. ex orange man probably raped her

While demanding Allen Weisselberg hold her down. Would not surprise me.

[Tanuki]

13. Yes, according to other reporting a couple of days ago. He hit on her

when he showed up at a shiva mourning observance at her then- future father-in-law's house. He also dissed the modest house, implying it was an unworthy dwelling for "his" CFO, and he also showed off photos of a party on a yacht featuring naked women. All of this among a group of people mourning the recent death of a loved one!

[LittleGirl]

23. Wow, I was just speculating!

I forgot about that story. He’s such a creep.

[gab13by13]

10. It's her father-in-law who needs flipped.

[Ford_Prefect]

14. He might be Epsteined too if that happened.

There is a huge amount of Russian money that was laundered through the Trump investment, property, and resort system. The people behind that are ruthless and very protective of their assets. The scale of investment represents the kind of money the Pentagon dreams about.

These are the same folks who pushed Brexit through behind the scenes in order to avoid EU banking and tax laws which were due to be enforced because of British EU membership. Their investments in Britain would have been exposed for the laundering schemes they are.

Bannon commissioned Cambridge Analytica with Russian money for this purpose.

[gab13by13]

16. Sad, but you are right,

No one bankrupts casinos unless he does it on purpose.

The only bank that would loan Trump money, Deutche Bank, was covered by VTB Bank, Putin's bank.

[rurallib]

19. That is some interesting stuff you are saying there

I do not doubt a word you say, but had never seen the connection between Brexit & the whole Trump / Russian money laundering. Is there any links to more on this?

[erronis]

27. Many of us had seen the link between trump/johnson, RW and brexit from the beginning.

Same tactics of divisiveness and buying loyalty.
Whether US capitalists or russian oligarchs or other mafiosi.

I expect to see some novichuk poisonings coming up. Too bad vlad doesn't have a better trained squad. (via bellingcat)

[AZ8theist]

29. Hey Donny, you fat fucking traitorous prick!!!

If you see these two at the gates of Mar-A-Lardo, RUN!!!!

[AZ8theist]

30. Just Google "russians behind Brexit" and you'll have all the links you care to read..

Too many to list here.

[housecat]

18. I learn more from reading DU comments than any news source

[2naSalit]

22. +1

[Karadeniz]

35. Totally agree!!!

[Deminpenn]

20. She could be confirmation for at least some of what Michael Cohen

has told investigators.

[jcgoldie]

21. So if I'm reading this right...

She doesn't have any goods on Trump but she does have goods on Weisselberg so they hope they can pressure him to flip based on whatever tax crimes of his that she exposes?

[Irish_Dem]

26. That would be typical police procedure I believe.

Get the little fish to talk so you can get the big fish.

[alwaysinasnit]

32. The leverage against Weisselberg might be that his two sons worked for tRump.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. K&R

[certainot]

25. nice

[BobTheSubgenius]

28. Good for her.

Yet another courageous woman coming forward. This cannot be easy for her, and may well be fraught with real danger.

[Texin]

31. She said that "basically for Allen" (her FIL), "it was a 'love affair'", but for tRUMP

it was just business. She basically meant that Allen Weiselberg worshiped tRump and did his bidding. I rather doubt the feds will get anything out of that guy, even though he supposedly cooperated in earlier investigations.

[FeelingBlue]

33. Why...

Would an ex-daughter-in-law of a company’s CFO know anything about anything?! Seems like a stretch. I hope the SDNY has closer witnesses than an ex DIL of a former CFO.

[Grasswire2]

43. Trump Inc wasn't exactly a "company"

It was a small family business, very closely held. VERY closely held. Think MOB.

[Blue Owl]

39. K&R

[ancianita]

40. Besides Trump hitting on her, she explains why Weisselberg won't cooperate, so she'll do what

she can.

from The Daily Beast a few days ago, which includes info from Jane Mayer's New Yorker article

“Only a small part of your salary is reported,” she said. “They pay you with apartments and other stuff, as a control tactic, so you can’t leave. They own you! You have to do whatever corrupt crap they ask.” If this alleged gift wasn’t declared in tax forms, prosecutors could use it against the couple—and as leverage to tempt Allen Weisselberg into cooperating.

However, Jennifer Weisselberg thinks it’s unlikely her ex-father-in-law will play ball, saying: “He has more feelings and adoration for Donald than for his wife... For Donald, it’s a business. But for Allen, it’s a love affair.” As an example, she recalled to Mayer being hit on by Trump in front of her then father-in-law—at a shivah for Allen’s deceased mother—and said with incredulity: “He didn’t stand up for me!” Jennifer Weisselberg also said that, at the same event to mourn the dead, Trump showed people photographs of naked women with him on a yacht.

Separately, Mayer also reported the first details of the whereabouts of Trump’s tax documents after they were provided to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in February. The hard drive is believed to be in an incredibly high-security chamber within the Louis J. Lefkowitz State Office Building. The chamber is reported to be sealed by bank-vault-style doors, and lined with copper foil to stop remote tampering attempts.

Meanwhile, CNN reported Friday that Trump’s time in the White House has given New York prosecutors a possible boost for any case against Trump. Prosecutors have reportedly discussed using a section of New York criminal procedure that allows for the extension of the statute of limitations if a defendant has been out of state “continuously,” as Trump has been since he took office in 2017. According to CNN, prosecutors think that could afford them more time to investigate Trump’s business dealings.
