Trump Org. CFO's immunity deal is new problem for Trump

Prosecutors are edging closer and closer to President Trump's business empire, a fact underlined by the news Friday of an immunity deal reportedly given to the Trump Organization's longtime chief financial officer.

While it is unclear that CFO Allen Weisselberg's reported deal - first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Friday - puts Trump in any specific legal danger, it does mean that prosecutors investigating former Trump personal lawyer Michael Cohen will be talking closely to a man with deep knowledge of Trump's businesses.

"[Weisselberg] knew where every nickel went to, he knew where every nickel came from," said Travis Snell, a former assistant attorney general for New York state who worked on the Trump University case.

"And anybody who would want to know more about any of Trump's finances, Weisselberg is going to have knowledge about all of that."

it's limited immunity and only applicable to the federal cases, not the potential civil cases in the state. He's not completely off the hook.
