Former Trump Organization exec Allen Weisselberg cuts ties with attorneys

Former Trump financial chief Allen Weisselberg cut ties with defense lawyers at the urging of the former president’s firm in the face of mounting concerns the attorneys were willing to entertain overtures from Manhattan prosecutors seeking the executive’s cooperation in their investigation of Donald Trump, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.

The move comes as a Manhattan grand jury is believed to be nearing a decision on whether to charge the former president in a long-running investigation into a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign to silence her about an alleged affair years earlier.

Weisselberg is viewed as a pivotal witness in that inquiry in which former Trump attorney Michael Cohen has asserted that Trump directed Cohen and Weisselberg to arrange the payment.

The plea bargain, according to one source familiar with the matter, first ignited a rift between the Gravante legal team – which was paid by the Trump Organization – and Trump firm officials who objected to a defense decision to allow prosecutors to prepare Weisselberg for his testimony before he appeared in court.

1. I don't believe this was a coincidence

May have flipped, but also may have been told he's facing more charges around this, or maybe even that because of this they know he lied and his plea deal will be voided.

Bragg needed a witness to bring about these charges that go well beyond the hush money payments.

2. Yes this is what the talking heads are asking.

One of the talking heads said that Weisselberg is a rich, privileged white male
who gets manicures and custom suits.

And he just spent months in Rikers, once of the worst prisons around.

It may have focused his mind.

5. This....

Along with the fact that Weiselberg received reduced charges in exchange for agreeing to cooperate and give truthful testimony. I’m sure the months in Rikers have been excellent in his realization that he doesn’t want to be there longer than he has to be.

And didn’t David Pecker years ago also have a similar agreement to avoid being charged?

4. No one knows for sure. However, we can be certain the thought of it driving TFG crazier
