Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Evidence showed that Trump and execs at his real estate empire falsely logged the triplex as 33,000 square feet in business deals -- three times its actual size -- inflating its worth by up to $200 million.
40% : Cohen told Congress the following year that Weisselberg determined how Trump would pay him back.
32% : In the years since the DA began investigating Trump, prosecutors sought to persuade the fiercely loyal money manager to flip on his longtime boss more than once, to no avail.
23% : The retired Trump Organization chief financial officer, who decamped to Florida following his last jail stint for tax fraud, copped on March 4 to two counts of perjury -- admitting he lied during the bombshell civil fraud case and the investigation that preceded it, culminating with almost half a billion dollars in fines against Trump and his executives.
22% : Following the civil trial, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron found him liable for committing intentional, large-scale fraud alongside Trump and his top executives and barred him from handling a company's finances again.
19% : Weisselberg, 76, was sentenced days before Trump is set to face his first criminal trial on Monday in an unrelated criminal case regarding alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and others.
