The former longtime CFO of the Trump Organization, himself already convicted of a slew of financial crimes, has now admitted to perjuring himself as New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) undertook a massive civil fraud probe into former President Donald Trump’s business empire.

Allen Weisselberg appeared in New York Supreme Court to plead guilty to two felonies on Monday morning before Judge Laurie Peterson. Thereafter, the judge set sentencing for April 10.

In New York, first-degree perjury is committed when someone “swears falsely and when his false statement (a) consists of testimony, and (b) is material to the action, proceeding or matter in which it is made.” A class D nonviolent felony, first-degree perjury is punishable by up to 7 years in prison. But between Weisselberg’s decision to plead guilty, his age — 76 — and the reported five-month sentence recommended by prosecutors, the defendant does not appear to face a stiff punishment, as was the case when he was sentenced the first time around and released from Rikers Island early for good behavior.
