During the trial against the Trump Organization, it was revealed that former President Donald Trump's penthouse in New York City's Trump Tower is significantly smaller than he claimed. Trump had valued the triplex apartment at $327 million in his 2015 and 2016 financial statements, based on the claim that it was 30,000 square feet in size. However, prosecutors argued that the penthouse is actually just under 11,000 square feet, resulting in an overvaluation of between $114 million to $207 million. The trial heard testimony from Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, who admitted that he knew the apartment's actual size was 10,000 square feet, not 30,000 square feet. This revelation raises questions about whether Trump intentionally lied about the size of his penthouse.
