Summary
Donald Trump is forever saying he hires only "the best people." Recent developments seem to suggest otherwise. Trump's long-time Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg, was previously convicted of participating in a 15-year-long scheme to defraud in connection with his work at the Trump Organization, and he went to prison. Upon his release, he was called as a witness at Trump's New York fraud trial and Weisselberg committed perjury, lying in an attempt to help his boss. Weisselberg has now pleaded guilty to perjury charges and is heading back to prison.
