Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. is expected to bring criminal charges against the business empire of former President Donald Trump as early as next week, according to Mr. Trump‘s personal lawyer.

Lawyer Ron Fischetti said Mr. Vance will file charges against the Trump Organization because the prosecutor hasn’t been able to pressure longtime Trump chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg into giving evidence against Mr. Trump in a tax-evasion probe.

“They could not get Allen Weisselberg to cooperate and tell them what they wanted to hear, and that’s why they are going forward with these charges,” Mr. Fischetti told NBC News on Friday.
