The Trump Organization’s longtime chief financial officer may be called to testify before Congress after President Donald Trump’s longtime fixer and personal attorney, Michael Cohen, repeatedly named him while testifying about financial crimes allegedly committed by the president and at the president’s direction.

The House Intelligence Committee plans to call Allen Weisselberg to testify, according to multiple news reports. During a House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on Wednesday, Cohen testified that Weisselberg had first-hand knowledge of criminal acts committed by the president, and alleged that Weisselberg himself participated in tax violations, campaign-finance violations, insurance fraud, and other financial crimes.

Weisselberg likely knows Trump’s business practices better than anyone: He started as an accountant for Trump’s father, Fred Trump, a real estate developer, in the 1970s and has held financial roles within the Trump family’s inner circle since. Weisselberg helped run Trump’s failed casino in Atlantic City in the early 2000s. He was also treasurer of the president’s charitable organization, the Trump Foundation, which dissolved in 2018 after prosecutors found it was used to fatten Trump’s business and campaign coffers.

The office of the Special Counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating the foundation for receiving improper donations from foreigners, and lawmakers, including Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), have signaled they want to initiate an investigation after Cohen’s Oversight Committee testimony. Cohen said Trump used foundation funds to improperly purchase a portrait of himself and inflate its selling price.
