Correction: Correction: corporate filings filed July 8-9 showed Allen Weisselberg removed from several subsidiary roles, but not that he left the Trump Organization entirely.

Corporate filings updated in early July showed Allen Weisselberg losing officer titles at several Trump Organization subsidiaries after his July 1 indictment in New York. Those changes became public on July 12, with the amended paperwork reflecting revisions filed on July 8 and July 9.

The filings show Weisselberg removed from roles tied to a cluster of Trump-linked entities, including Trump Payroll Corporation and other subsidiary companies. The records do not show him leaving the business altogether. CBS News reported that he remained with the Trump Organization even after the subsidiary changes were made.

The New York attorney general said the indictment charged Trump Corporation, Trump Payroll Corporation and Weisselberg in connection with an alleged tax scheme involving roughly $1.7 million in compensation and benefits. Prosecutors said the arrangement included housing, cars and tuition payments. Weisselberg and the companies pleaded not guilty at the time.

The paperwork shift amounts to a title change inside the corporate tree, not proof of an operational purge or a clean break. The public filings show the company moved quickly to revise who was listed on some subsidiary documents, but they do not answer how much practical authority Weisselberg still held inside the organization after the charges landed.
