曼哈顿地区检察官办公室最近威胁要对前特朗普组织首席财务官提出新的刑事指控艾伦·魏斯勒伯格知情人士告诉ABC新闻。
75岁的Weisselberg目前正在纽约的Rikers岛监狱服刑承认税务欺诈八月。
消息人士称，新的指控将涉及保险欺诈，这一细节首先由《纽约时报》报道。
消息人士称，曼哈顿的检察官正在利用额外指控的威胁，迫使Weisselberg配合他们正在进行的对前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)及其企业的刑事调查。
地方检察官阿尔文·布拉格的发言人拒绝对美国广播公司新闻发表评论。Weisselberg的律师也拒绝置评。
魏斯尔伯格作证反对作为认罪协议的一部分，特朗普组织去年在刑事审判中，但他没有将这位前总统牵连到该公司的税务欺诈中。
纽约司法部长莱蒂夏·詹姆斯的报告中提到了保险欺诈2.5亿美元的民事诉讼9月，总检察长对特朗普、他的长子和他的企业提起诉讼。该诉讼还提到了Weisselberg和其他高管，指控这位前首席财务官在对特朗普房地产投资组合的评估上向一家保险公司撒谎。
特朗普否认有不当行为，并称詹姆斯的调查是出于政治动机的“政治迫害”。
本周，检察官开始向大陪审团提交证据，调查特朗普是否在2016年总统大选前向斯托米·丹尼尔斯支付封口费方面的款项中发挥了作用。在最初的目击者中，ABC新闻有以前报告过前《国家询问者》出版商大卫·派克和特朗普组织控制员杰夫·麦康奈尔。
特朗普已经否认知道这笔钱是通过他当时的私人律师迈克尔·科恩安排的。
Manhattan DA threatens former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg with new charges
The Manhattan district attorney's office has recently threatened to file new criminal charges against former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Weisselberg, 75, is currently serving jail time at New York's Rikers Island after he pleaded guilty to tax fraud in August.
The new charges, the sources said, would involve insurance fraud, a detail first reported by The New York Times.
Prosecutors in Manhattan are using the threat of additional charges to pressure Weisselberg into cooperating with their ongoing criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump and his business, the sources said.
A spokesperson for District Attorney Alvin Bragg declined to comment to ABC News. An attorney for Weisselberg also declined to comment.
Weisselberg testified against the Trump Organization at its criminal trial last year as part of a plea agreement, but he did not implicate the former president in the company's tax fraud.
Insurance fraud was mentioned in New York Attorney General Letitia James' $250 million civil lawsuit that the AG brought in September against Trump, his eldest children, and his business. The lawsuit, which also names Weisselberg and other executives, alleges that the former CFO lied to an insurance company about an appraisal of Trump's real estate portfolio.
Trump has denied wrongdoing and has called James' investigation a politically motivated "witch hunt."
This week, prosecutors began presenting evidence to a grand jury investigating whether Trump played a role in the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Among the initial witnesses, ABC News has previously reported, were former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker and Trump Organization controller Jeff McConney.
Trump has denied knowing about the payment, which was arranged through his then-personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
