Good morning from New York.

Allen Weisselberg is awaiting his sentencing for perjuring himself during Trump's civil fraud case investigation and trial.

We already know the outcome: five months in jail, per his plea deal.

I'll be covering the proceedings.

Some quick background before the proceedings:

* Weisselberg, the ex-Trump Org CFO, was a co-defendant in the civil fraud case.

* He previously served a brief stint in Rikers in a separate tax fraud case.

* That other case was before Justice Merchan, but this isn't.

There's another tie to the civil fraud case.

NYAG Tish James says that Weisselberg's plea indicates indicates that it's supported by incriminating emails her office doesn't have.

Back in civil court, the AG's team wants Justice Engoron to determine whether Trump, his co-defendants and their lawyers "facilitated" Weisselberg's perjury by withholding incriminating documents.

It's unclear whether any of that related litigation in the civil case will come up in criminal court during sentencing.

Proceedings are about to begin.

Justice Laurie Peterson is presiding.

Allen Weisselberg approaches the defense table, dressed in comfortable, loose-fitting attire, seemingly ready for more jail time.

Justice Peterson:

Mr. Weisselberg, is there anything you would like to say?

Weisselberg:

No, your honor.

Weisselberg is handcuffed behind his back and escorted out of the courtroom.

That's it.
