Although Donald
Trump was not personally on trial, prosecutors in the case brought by the
Manhattan district attorney insisted he was fully aware of the long-running
scheme in which they said executives were enriched by off-the-books perks to
make up for lower salaries, reducing the company’s tax liabilities.
The 12-person jury in New York’s state court was sent out to deliberate
on Monday morning after a six-week trial in which Trump Organization lawyers
pinned blame for the fraud solely on the greed of longtime chief financial
officer Allen Weisselberg.
