Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Allen Weisselberg, the longtime chief financial officer for the Trump Organization, testified Friday that he received a raise to make up for off-the-book perks he was no longer getting.
Weisselberg, 75, testified for a third and final day in the criminal trial of Donald Trump's family business. He said that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump found out in 2017 that he'd been getting off-the-books perks and bonuses paid as an "independent contractor."
The discovery came at a time when the company was cleaning up its business practices following increased scrutiny following Donald Trump's election as president.
"Following that cleanup, were you demoted or disciplined?" prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked, according to NBC News. Weisselberg replied, "No."
