The ex-wife of a Trump Organization executive has spoken “multiple times” with investigators from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, she told NBC News, as the probe into Donald Trump’s financial dealings intensifies.

Jennifer Weisselberg said it appears investigators have been seeking information related to the role of Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer and the father of her ex-husband.

Allan Weisselberg, whose relationship with Trump spans decades, is likely the one person outside of the family who has the most complete understanding of the Trump Organization’s inner financial workings.

“He discusses everything with him,” Jennifer Weisselberg said, speaking in her first broadcast interview. “And Donald trusts him to continue the legacy the way his father set things up.”

1. I think he is the key to nailing the Donald, but I think she has alterior motives.

She is involved in a nasty divorce with his son and has already lost custody of her kids. Not the best witness to have, even though I am sure her husband and his father are using their power to beat her into submission in court.

2. ex wives can make great witnesses. quite a few

turned in x's that attacked the capital.

they can get you in the weeds, tho. fine line.

3. I am an ex wife who had to pay support to my deadbeat ex husband.

The court said since I out earned him most of our married life, I had to help him "transition" to living without my income. I am a bitter ex wife because of that so I guess I understand ex husbands a little more than most.

4. Allan Weisselberg is a CFO.

Finance is an extremely esoteric and complex area for corporations. Proof of financial crimes is not something you could cover adequately in the 10 second "how was your day honey?" conversation when he got home from work. I spend much of my work talking with CFO's, and in my experience, the absolute last thing they want to talk about after work is Corporate Finance.

It's certainly a much more difficult subject than "that cheating bastard was in DC two weeks ago, and I heard he told Jim-bob about a selfie he took in the House of Reps."

5. "Grain of salt"

You know what? She's probably the only person named Weisselberg who's willing to take a call from an NBC reporter.

So ... grain of salt.

6. guess they're trying to get

something on the son, to get to the father. I don't think Weisselberg will ever turn on Trump, but what do I know
