Allen Weisselberg, longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, has been granted immunity by federal prosecutors as part of an investigation into President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing sources.
Weisselberg had been subpoenaed by prosecutors earlier this year to testify before a grand jury as part of that probe, the Journal reported.
News of Weisselberg's immunity deal follows a Thursday report that David Pecker, the chairman of publishing giant American Media, had also received federal immunity as part of the Cohen investigation.
Alan Futerfas, an attorney for the Trump Organization, declined a request for comment from CNBC.
CNBC's Brian Schwartz contributed to this report.
