Weisselberg was also caught up in the civil fraud case against former President Trump
Supreme Court expected to rule on Trump ballot case
Former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss why she thinks Trump will prevail with a 'decisive victory' in the Colorado ballot case.
Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg will appear in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge, Fox News has learned.
Weisselberg surrendered himself to authorities early Monday morning, and he is expected to appear in court later in the day. Manhattan courts have yet to confirm the charge against Weisselberg to the public.
Weisselberg is among several top executives at the Trump organization who were barred last month from operating their business in New York for a range of two to three years. That ruling came from Judge Aurthur Engoron, who also banned Trump and his children from operating the business.
A New York Appeals Court allowed Trump and his sons to maintain control of the company temporarily while they attempt to appeal Engoron's decision.

Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg will appear in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge, Fox News has learned.
Engoron also "permanently" barred defendants Weisselberg and former corporate controller Jeffrey McConney from "serving in the financial control function of any New York corporation or similar business entity registered and/or licensed in New York State" and as a director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for three years.
Trump dismissed the trial as a "witch hunt" throughout the process, accusing both Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James of serving as political operatives for Democrats. Trump's legal team also repeatedly blasted the lack of a jury in the trial.

"There was never an option to choose a jury trial," a Trump spokesperson told Fox News Digital last month. "It is unfortunate that a jury won’t be able to hear how absurd the merits of this case are and conclude no wrongdoing ever happened."
Trump and his family denied any wrongdoing, with the former president saying his assets had been undervalued. Trump's legal team insisted that his financial statements had disclaimers, and made it clear to banks that they should conduct their own assessments.
Weisselberg previously was sentenced to five months in prison early last year after he pleaded guilty to tax crimes.
