......On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that a grand jury subpoenaed him to testify in the federal investigation of Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen.

....Weisselberg has extensive knowledge of the Trump Organization’s operations. Trump’s trust in him was deep enough that he regularly had Weisselberg prepare his personal tax returns and sign off on the financial details of the company’s deals. He also had a prominent position inside the president’s troubled charitable foundation. And he, along with the president’s two eldest sons, oversees the trust that Trump set up to manage his interests in the Trump Organization while he’s in the White House.
That kind of knowledge is likely to be of great interest to investigators, who long ago signaled that they might take a closer look at the president’s business dealings. They may be inclined to put the kind of pressure on Weisselberg that would strain his loyalties to Trump.
