Allen Weisselberg, Trump Organization CFO, to be sentenced for tax crimes

Senior Trump adviser expected to be sentenced to five months at New York City's Rikers Island jail complex

Allen Weisselberg, a longtime executive for Donald Trump 's real estate empire whose testimony helped convict the former president's company of tax fraud, is set to be sentenced on Tuesday for dodging taxes on $1.7m in job perks.

New York judge Juan Manuel Merchan is expected to sentence Weisselberg, a senior Trump Organization adviser and former chief financial officer, to five months in jail, in keeping with a plea agreement reached in August.
