Trump ally Allen Weisselberg was released early from Rikers Island on Friday after being convicted of lying under oath during the civil fraud trial of the Trump Organization.
Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, was sentenced in April to five months behind bars after he pleaded guilty to two counts of perjury.
His attorney Seth Rosenberg confirmed Weisselberg’s release.
Weisselberg had previously served time at Rikers Island in 2023 for charges related to a tax fraud scheme. He was sentenced to five months in jail but was eligible for release after 100 days with time off for good behavior.
