United States jurors in the Trump Organization’s tax fraud trial have started deliberating after four weeks of testimony and arguments about executive pay practices at Donald Trump’s real estate company that prosecutors say amounted to a years-long criminal scheme.The former US president’s company was charged in 2021 with paying personal expenses for some executives without reporting the payments as income and compensating them as if they were independent contractors.The company’s longtime chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, pleaded guilty and testified for the prosecution. Trump, who last month announced plans to seek the presidency again in 2024, was not charged in the case.
