Allen Weisselberg is Trump's accountant, and has been subpoenaed.

Weisselberg handled everything since the 1970s.

Weisselberg .?.?. has worked for the Trump family since the 1970s, and knows more about the Trump Organization’s history and finances than nearly anyone. Almost 71 years old, he joined the company after graduating from college and worked for the president’s father, Fred, as an accountant. He has since become the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer and one of the president’s closest business confidants (alongside Jason Greenblatt, who was Trump’s in-house legal counsel before the president named him as a special diplomatic envoy to the Middle East).

.?.?.

Over the years, Weisselberg’s professional duties also came to include handling Trump’s personal finances as well as the Trump Organization’s corporate finances. He has paid household bills, made large purchases for Trump, and has communicated with Trump’s outside investment advisers. After Trump became president his lawyers created a trust that safeguards his interest in the Trump Organization while ostensibly managing the company without his input. The trust is run by Weisselberg and the president’s two eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric.

I would wager that Mr. Weisselberg, at 71 years old, isn’t planning on spending a single day in prison for Donald Trump. I think that is what puts Trump in a great deal of legal jeopardy.

Toastville. As was said on TV today, “If Cohen knew where the bodies were buried, Weisselberg dug the hole.”
