The Manhattan district attorney responded Monday to an effort by the Trump Organization and its former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg to have criminal fraud and tax evasion charges against them dismissed.
Weisselberg and the company asked a judge in February to dismiss the case, which was filed in July 2021, claiming they had been targeted "based on political animus" for their connection to former President Donald Trump. Weisselberg also argued he received immunity against certain federal charges when he testified to a federal grand jury investigating former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.
Prosecutors said in their filing Monday that the investigation into Weisselberg was actually prompted by a Nov. 2, 2020 Bloomberg article about perks Weisselberg allegedly received.
