Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg released from Rikers after 100 days in jail for tax fraud

Clayton News Daily (Jonesboro, GA)

NEW YORK — The Trump Organization's convicted finance chief Allen Weisselberg was sprung from Rikers Island on Wednesday.

Donald Trump's longtime moneyman, convicted of criminal tax fraud last August, had been behind bars for 100 days, the minimum he was required to serve with good behavior.

A city Department of Correction source said Weisselberg wasn't given special treatment. He was released at the parking lot on the Queens side of the bridge to Rikers.

"Anyone who truly knows Allen feels sorry that he had to go through this," Nick Gravante, who represented Weisselberg in the case, said.

"I hope he can now retire in peace, spend time with his wonderful family, and leave the circus in the rearview mirror. It was my honor and privilege to have represented him. He's a true gentleman."

Weisselberg's release comes weeks after Trump's historic indictment on felony business fraud charges. The DA's case against the former president stems from a years-long criminal probe into his business dealings, which spun off cases against his company and Weisselberg, who started out working for Donald's father, Fred, in the 1970s.

The Daily News reported last month that prosecutors were still trying to flip Weisselberg, 75, post-sentencing, threatening him with potential insurance fraud charges related to misrepresentations to Zurich Insurance Group.

Sources told The News earlier this month that Trump's legal team sought to have Gravante swapped out as his attorney upon learning he advised his client to be amenable to hearing what the prosecution team had to say.

Weisselberg is among those being sued alongside Trump by the New York attorney general in a $250 million lawsuit alleging rampant fraud at the Trump Organization.

Representatives for Trump and the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment.
