Attorneys have told former President Trump‘s lawyers that the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg, could face charges as a result of the continuing probe by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, according to a report in The New York Times.

The office, led by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr., has told several attorneys for the former president it is considering charges regarding Weisselberg, a top Trump Organization executive long seen as a loyal player in Trump World.

Charges against the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer could come as early as the following week, according to the report.

One of the issues that prosecutors are examining is whether benefits given to Weisselberg and other executives were accurately represented in the company’s financial recordkeeping system and if the company paid taxes on those benefits, according to the report.
