As we related last month, Manhattan’s Democratic district attorney Alvin Bragg’s strategy, as he gears up for his hush-money prosecution of Donald Trump, is to make an impression on potential witnesses who might be favorably disposed toward the former president, or at least reluctant to provide damaging testimony against him.

At the top of that list is former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, who, the New York Times reports, is about to plead guilty to perjury charges. It will be the second time in 18 months that Bragg has prosecuted him.
