trump CFO granted immunity

Allen Weisselberg, longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, has been granted immunity by federal prosecutors as part of their investigation into President Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
Weisselberg's ties to the president go back decades: He has overseen the Trump Organization's finances, been involved in the Trump Foundation, the president's charity, and has managed Trump's private trust alongside his eldest sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
Weisselberg was subpoenaed by prosecutors earlier this year to testify before a grand jury as part of that probe.

With all these people granted immunity, this story has only one ending, says NYT's Jim Stewart
Allen Weisselberg, longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, has been granted immunity by federal prosecutors as part of their investigation into President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, NBC News reported Friday, citing multiple people with knowledge of the matter.

Without using Weisselberg's name, federal prosecutors accused him in a document of instructing an unidentified Trump Organization employee to reimburse Cohen for hush-money payments to one of two women who claimed they had extramarital affairs with Trump.

The first two members of Congress to publicly support Donald Trump for president have been indicted, and the three men who were next in line to back him have weathered significant scandals.

Reps. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) and Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) threw their support behind Trump in February 2016, back when much of the GOP establishment was staying far away from the real estate mogul and long before it was clear that Trump was going to win the nomination.

"The White House cannot comment on an ongoing investigation"

Aren't you just a little glad this "president" can't help himself, just a little comforted that the probe and his reaction is helping stifle his path to putin's world domination?

Every day he incriminates his people and changes his story despite the glaring proof that he's lying. He goads and taunts the press, other politicians, and even his own staff.

Please never let him or his minions utter those words. He's his own worst enemy.
