He has to testify truthfully to get the deal. You can bet there will be questions that the prosecutor already knows the answer to that he'll need to answer correctly. If at any time they can prove he lied under oath he'll die in prison. Pretty strong motivation to tell the truth...

[phiklik]

I've never seen him, I don't know him "Donald Trump"I meet thousands of people every day, I don't know, maybe I saw him once or twice

[datmeme]

Are we supposed to believe he was a lone wolf who went rogue??

[Rockhoundingcolorado]

Who made him do, who made the rules, who PROFITED.

[jensonee]

"so you want to work here at the trump corporation." "Yes, i do." "well, where do you see yourself in 5 to ten years?"

[pilotrserra]

What the hell is wrong with all these old politicians? Why do all these 65-70+ year old politicians still want to work when they only have 10+ years left? Is their ego that flawed? The fact that an old person wants to go through all this crap tells me they are crazy. With all their money, I would be fishing, traveling, enjoying family and life before death…how sad are these people?

[lawrencecole]

I just served 2 years to C 19 so 100 days is nothing for FIFTEEN YEARS of dirty doings. What a joke.

[SmokingDabs]

5 months in jail and only 2m payback for the over 500+ million they never paid in taxes what a load of🗑

[brentgoupon]

Another tRump Casualty, Thrown Under The Bus ! 👈🥺

[douglaslacy]

Man I wish they would investigate all our politicians like they do trump and anything involved with trump

[Kamamura]

So he plead guilty in 15 cases of felonies, and gets a deal where he just pays 2 millions and gets 5 months in prison which were changed of 100 days of public works he won't do anyway? That's laughable, an insult to everyone who believes Americans are equal under the law.

[lavender]

A presidency is never supposed to end like this.

[Designarchi]

So how can Weisselberg agree to testify against the Trump company but not Trump himself? There really is no distinction between the two. Trump runs basically a family business.

First domino. "In New York City's criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."

[wejoe]

WHAT did he REALLY get for LIEING? 20 million, 50 million, 100 HOW MUCH?

[SimonGlobetrotter]

Some nice friends Gangster Trump surrounds himself with.

[joeydiaz]

Its funny how this comes up when midterm elections are happening

[marcuswainright]

Now what kind of time (and what kind of deal did he get) was he facing that he pled guilty to over a dozen felonies!?!

[franklinrichardson]

That makes no sense then why the plea deal wtf send his ass to jail for 15 years what the hell is this. If he doesn't flip and start talking we should be talking more than 15 years and why would the DA even consider a plea deal then what the hell os going on?

[AlbertvsMagnvs]

and yet Trump supporters still refuse to believe it
