A week after state prosecutors in the New York City borough of Manhattan indicted Donald Trump’s family business and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, the company began removing Weisselberg from every leadership position he held atop dozens of its subsidiaries, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
The move could be a potential precursor to a wider shake-up at the former president’s company, the Trump Organization, as the reality of the indictment takes hold for Trump and his senior executives. While Weisselberg continues to work at the Trump Organization, and there is no indication that Trump wants to cut ties with him, the company might seek to move him into a lower-profile role.
