From The New York Times:
The Manhattan district attorney’s office is now considering a new round of criminal charges against Mr. Weisselberg, 75, and this time he could be charged with perjury, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
…
The potential perjury charges stem from statements Mr. Weisselberg made under oath during a 2020 interview with the office of the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who was conducting her own separate civil investigation into Mr. Trump and his family business…
…
If Mr. Weisselberg refuses to cooperate, he could face a range of new charges. In addition to pursuing the perjury case, the prosecutors have indicated to his lawyers that they are considering unrelated insurance fraud charges against him.
They also appear to be weighing whether to charge Mr. Weisselberg with inflating the numbers on Mr. Trump’s financial statements. The prosecutors recently sought to interview one of Mr. Weisselberg’s former Trump Organization colleagues, who might be able to shed light on his involvement in crafting the annual statements, the people said.
