The Trump Organization’s indicted CFO Allen Weisselberg has been demoted as Trump scrambles amid this ongoing criminal probe. Weisselberg has resigned from a trust set up to control the company’s assets, according to government filings obtained by The Washington Post. Trump’s money man has also tapped defense lawyers with no ties to the Trump Organization. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber is joined by former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade and former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman. Aired on 07/14/2021.

1. Ackerman certainly has an interesting persective.

If Weisselberg "resigned" but is still running the show, he could be in much deeper trouble. One point is certainly true, Don Jr. as CFO is a joke.

2. Recommend for everyone to watch...K & R..7min 54 seconds

3. This will be fun to watch

TFG appears to be throwing Weisselberg under the bus. That tactic worked well with Michael Cohen

4. Wouldn't surprise me one bit...

If Ackerman is correct. It makes sense.

5. Makes sense to me as well.

He's the "brains" of the operation, has been doing the job for decades, and we know that it's a "family run" company, there's really no one to take his place - TFG repeatedly went bankrupt after his father was no longer around to bail him out and Ackerman is right about Junior, he's hopeless.
