CNBC reported that a Trump organization official will be called to testify in front of a grand jury.
Allen Weisselberg, the Chief Financial Officer for the Trump Organization, was mentioned in the Cohen tapes according to the report:
Weisselberg was mentioned by Cohen in a conversation that Cohen secretly recorded with Trump in September 2016 that discussed buying the rights to the story of Playboy model Karen McDougal, who claims she had an affair with the president. Audio of that conversation was aired earlier this week by CNN.
Cohen is heard on the tape tellling Trump that he needed to set up a company to make the payment, and that he had consulted Weisselberg about the process for doing that.
It’s not clear when the Weisselberg testimony will take place.
