Weisselberg "admits he committed conduct" pertaining to sworn testimony on May 12, 2023, and Oct. 10, 2023, regarding the size of Trump's Fifth Avenue Manhattan triplex. "Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?" Today, Allen Weisselberg is pleading guilty to this felony and being held responsible for his conduct." "It was almost de minimis relative to his net worth, so I didn't really focus on it," Weisselberg said during the trial.
