Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, was sentenced Wednesday to spend five months in the infamous Rikers Island complex in New York City—the same facility he served time in just months ago.
The legal saga now appears to be complete for Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty last month t0 two counts of perjury that stemmed from him lying while under questioning by the New York Attorney General’s Office in 2020.
A judge ruled Wednesday that Weisselberg, 76, can be released from Rikers after 100 days if prison authorities report good behavior—the same terms he was given in a separate sentencing last year.
The New York Times reported that Weisselberg, who was dressed in all black and wearing a surgical mask, declined to speak at his sentencing hearing, which lasted mere minutes.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
