It is the first time a Trump business has been convicted of criminal conduct and comes as the former president is running for a second term.

Prosecutors worked to show that Trump executives, including former CFO Allen Weisselberg, evaded taxes on perks such as free apartments and luxury cars.

In his closing statement at the end of the month-long trial, Assistant DA Joshua Steinglass blasted claims by lawyers for the two Trump companies that former CFO Allen Weisselberg had acted alone.

An accountant with Mazars USA who prepared the former president's tax returns for years was the first defense witness in the tax fraud trial of two Trump companies.

The criminal tax fraud case against a pair of Trump Organization companies playing out in a Manhattan courtroom this month went all the way to trial because of one man: Donald Trump.

The Trump Organization's longtime chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, testified that greed fueled a scheme he says he engaged in with the firm's controller and the two Trump companies standing trial.

Allen Weisselberg told the jury that soon after he pleaded guilty, the firm booted him off the prestige floor on which Donald Trump worked.

The criminal tax fraud trial of two Trump Organization companies saw some drama — and a win for the prosecution.

Jurors in the Trump Organization's criminal tax fraud trial saw how longtime CFO Allen Weisselberg collected a host of perks, including a rent-free apartment.

Potential jurors are told they will be hearing a lot about Excel spreadsheets and corporate ledgers.
