Fmr #Trump Exec, #AllenWeisselberg already jailed, serving a five-month sentence at #RikersIsland after pleading guilty to #TaxFraud last year, could face more #fraud charges.

Manhattan prosecutors warned that they might charge #Weisselberg w/ #InsuranceFraud to pressure him to cooperate in investigation of the TFG.
