A lawyer for former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, who was charged earlier this summer with grand larceny and criminal tax fraud, said on Monday that his client expects there will be more indictments in the case, now that new tax documents were discovered in the basement of an alleged co-conspirator.

Attorney Bryan Skarlatos said that before the pre-trial hearing in New York State Supreme Court, the documents were turned over to the defense by the Manhattan district attorney's office. "We have strong reason to believe there could be other indictments coming," Skarlatos said.
