The investigation is far from over, though. In light of how developments are currently shaking out, the ongoing probe from New York authorities is gradually directing its focus to Donald Trump himself. This is one reason why officials in the Empire State are eager to get Weisselberg’s cooperation with their investigation.

The idea here is that if the Trump Organization CFO flips on Trump, bringing charges against the former president will be easier.

The statement from the Trump Organization

On Thursday, the Trump Organization put out a statement regarding the indictment and charges against Weisselberg.

The statement accused the Manhattan District Attorney of using the Trump Organization CFO as a pawn to attack Trump himself. Later, the Trump Organization made clear that what is happening now ultimately boils down to politics, rather than real justice.

At this time, Weisselberg has official release with the absence of bail; furthermore, the Trump Organization CFO remains under orders to hand over his passport.
