https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/donald-trumps-longtime-money-man-204422538.htmlFormer Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg breezed through intake at NYC's infamous Rikers jail.
He is now in what one expert called the "safest and nicest" unit in Rikers.
Weisselberg can use a hot pot to heat commissary soup and will likely get a kitchen job.
Donald Trump's former CFO has quickly snagged a coveted cot in what one expert calls the best unit in New York City's infamous Rikers Island jail complex.

(21,304 posts)what message does this send to people DOJ is trying to flip? Weisselberg lied on the stand to protect Trump when he was supposed to be cooperating, nevertheless he got his reduced sentence, 100 days, not exactly a Residence Inn but an Extended Stay America.
They put Michael Cohen in solitary. I better stop here. Thanks for posting this, I better stop here.
