I had been hoping to see a verdict in this case today, to go along with the Appeals Court decision, making it a very, very bad day for Trump. It doesn’t look like it will be coming any time soon though. Judge Engoron has issued an order requiring the parties to inform the Court what they know about the perjury plea deal in the works by Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg, for perjury he committed in the fraud case. I think the verdict is likely to be huge in any event, but a perjury conviction for a “star witness” is likely to make it even worse.
