NBC News is reporting that federal prosecutors have agreed to grant Allen Weisselberg, long-time chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, immunity from prosecution as part of their investigation into Cohen’s activities. Weisselberg, in a legal document pertaining to the case, is referred to as “Executive-1” and is given instructions to reimburse Cohen for one of the payments made. Trump has known Weisselberg for decades: in addition to overseeing the Trump Organization’s finances, Weisselberg has been involved in the Trump Foundation.
The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair and others are reporting that two long-time allies of President Donald Trump—American Media CEO David Pecker and Australian journalist Dylan Howard (American Media’s vice president/chief content officer) are now cooperating with the federal government in its ongoing investigation of Trump and his associates. This follows the stunning developments of August 21, when Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen pled guilty to eight federal charges (including tax evasion and felony campaign finance violations) and his former campaign manager Paul Manafort was convicted on eight counts (including tax evasion and bank fraud) in Alexandria, Virginia. Federal prosecutors have promised Pecker and Howard immunity from prosecution in exchange for their cooperation, which will include providing any information they have on hush-money payments made to adult film star Stephanie Clifford, a.k.a. Stormy Daniels, and Playboy model Karen McDougal (both of whom Trump allegedly had extramarital affairs with).
When George Papadopoulos (a foreign policy advisor on Trump’s 2016 campaign) flipped and agreed to cooperate with Mueller’s team, he pled guilty to having lied to investigators in their Russia-related probe—and Mueller has recommended a six-month prison sentence, which the former FBI director considers lenient in light of the circumstances. Mueller’s office has asserted that Papadopoulos lied about “critical facts in an investigation of national importance after having been explicitly warned that lying to the FBI was a federal offense.”
