Former daughter-in-law of Trump Organization officer says she's prepared to testify to grand jury

Source: CNN

The former daughter-in-law of a Trump Organization officer said Monday evening that she is prepared to testify before a grand jury convened by Manhattan's top prosecutor as part of the investigation into former President Donald Trump's sprawling company.

Jennifer Weisselberg -- a former ballet dancer who was married to Barry, the son of Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization -- told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront" that "we're prepared, and we are getting prepared" to testify before the panel.

Weisselberg declined to say whether she'd been formally asked to testify, and didn't offer a potential date or time.

Jennifer Weisselberg said earlier this year that she was cooperating with inquiries from New York investigators and had been asked about apartments she and her ex-husband were allowed to live in rent-free.

is supposedly going to say.

Maybe his organization will have to pay some fines, but the individuals that received untaxed benefits/compensation appear the main ones on the hook.

I mean, do criminals go home and talk to their daughter in law's about complex financial crimes? Especially ones that live with your kid at some other place the vast majority of the time?

I mean seriously. If it was that easy, everyone would have been charged with something decades ago.
