The Manhattan District Attorney's office has spent years investigating the Trump Organization and whether it violated New York state financial laws. The special grand jury investigation remains ongoing and examines whether executives illegally took benefits like apartments without paying taxes on them and whether the company broke tax, insurance, and bank fraud laws by misrepresenting property values.

Prosecutors have sought to pressure Weisselberg into cooperating into the investigation without success. Weisselberg pleaded not guilty in court Thursday.
