(Reuters) – The Trump Organization said on Thursday that charges against its chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg are about politics and not about justice, according to a statement obtained by ABC News.
The Organization accused prosecutors of using Weisselberg as a “pawn” in an effort to take down the former president, according to the statement.
Weisselberg surrendered to authorities earlier on Thursday. He entered a building housing Manhattan’s criminal court, where he and a Trump Organization representative are expected to appear later in the day.
