Allen Weisselberg , the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, was sentenced Wednesday to five months in jail for lying under oath about his role in Donald Trump s financial statements.

Seth Rosenberg, one of Weisselbergs lawyers, and prosecutors from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg made no comment during the sentencing hearing.

Weisselberg, who didnt address the court either, was escorted out of the room shortly after the hearing concluded, The Associated Press reported .

Allen Weisselberg accepted responsibility for his conduct and now looks forward to the end of this life-altering experience and to returning to his family and his retirement, Rosenberg said in a written statement shared with HuffPost.

The court proceeding lasted approximately three minutes, according to The New York Times .
