Former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg has once again been released from jail, according to New York City corrections records.
Weisselberg was sentenced April 10 to five months in New York City's Rikers Island jail complex, in line with a plea agreement reached with prosecutors over perjury he committed in a 2023 civil fraud case. He was released Friday, after 100 days, due to good behavior. It was his second 100-day stint in jail in just over a year.
Weisselberg pleaded guilty to two felony counts of perjury, admitting he gave false testimony regarding the size of former President Donald Trump's triplex apartment in New York during a July deposition. Prosecutors originally charged Weisselberg with three more counts of perjury, but Weisselberg's plea agreement allowed him to avoid pleading guilty to those charges.
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear banned the use of "conversion therapy" on minors in Kentucky on Wednesday, calling his executive order an overdue step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling. Over 20 other states that have passed laws prohibiting the controversial treatment.
