• Manhattan DA prosecutors are readying for a trial against the Trump Organization, a lawyer connected to the case says.
• Jennifer Weisselberg is scheduled to prepare as a witness, according to her lawyer.
• Prosecutors brought criminal charges against the company and CFO Allen Weisselberg a year ago.

The Manhattan District Attorney's office is gearing up for a trial against the Trump Organization, an attorney for one of the witnesses told Insider.

Duncan Levin, a lawyer for Jennifer Weisselberg, said the district attorney's office asked to schedule a meeting with Jennifer Weisselberg, the former daughter-in-law of Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, who is also a defendant in the case.

Jennifer Weisselberg was instrumental in the district attorney's office bringing its case. In a May filing, prosecutors disclosed that a media interview with her about untaxed "fringe benefits" at the company, published in November 2020, spurred investigators to bring charges. In July 2021, prosecutors brought a 15-count grand jury indictment accusing her former father-in-law and former President Donald Trump's company of evading millions of dollars in taxes.
