Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer for the Trump Organization, was sentenced to five months in jail on Tuesday for his involvement in a tax fraud scheme at the real estate company.

Tuesday’s sentence comes after Weisselberg entered a plea deal and admitted that he, as well as several other top-level employees, had received bonuses and other financial perks while intentionally concealing the benefits from tax authorities to avoid paying taxes.
