Former U.S. President Donald Trump's namesake company and its chief financial officer were indicted yesterday (Wednesday), a person familiar with the matter said.
The charges by a Manhattan grand jury against the Trump Organization and its CFO Allen Weisselberg are expected to be unsealed today (Thursday).
Weisselberg is expected to surrender to authorities this morning, the person said, and will be formally charged in the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan on Thursday afternoon.
Trump himself is not expected to be charged this week, his lawyer has said, though the blowback from the case could complicate Trump's political future as he considers a 2024 White House run.
Trump's lawyer, Ronald Fischetti, said on Monday that prosecutors suggested the charges would be related to taxes and fringe benefits and said Trump himself would not be charged in the indictment.
In a statement on Monday, Trump called prosecutors biased and said his company's actions were "in no way a crime."
