Trump Organization and Longtime CFO Criminally Indicted by Grand Jury: Report

The Post calls this indictment “the first from prosecutors probing the former president’s business dealings,” and says Weisselberg is expected to turn himself in to authorities Thursday morning.
“The indictments against the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg, will remain sealed until Thursday afternoon, leaving the specific charges against them unclear. Earlier Wednesday, people familiar with the case said the charges were related to allegations of unpaid taxes on benefits for Trump Organization executives.”
