Ex-Trump Accountant Breaks Down in Court, Disputes Mar-a-Lago Value
Jeffrey McConney, former Trump Organization accountant, expressed frustration over being targeted by law enforcement and may have disclosed a previously unreported subpoena during his testimony.
- Former Trump Organization accountant Jeffrey McConney broke down in tears on the witness stand during the ongoing bank fraud trial against Donald Trump, expressing frustration over being targeted by law enforcement to get to his former boss.
- McConney, who worked for the Trump Organization for 35 years, has been subpoenaed multiple times and has testified in both the Manhattan District Attorney’s tax fraud trial and the New York Attorney General’s bank fraud trial.
- During his testimony, McConney disputed Trump's claims about the value of Mar-a-Lago, stating that the Trump Organization valued it as a residence, not a social club.
- McConney left the Trump Organization shortly before the AG’s trial, but only after receiving the promise of a $500,000 severance package, raising concerns about his former employer's influence over his testimony.
- McConney may have disclosed a previously unreported subpoena from the Southern District of New York during his testimony, though the interest of federal prosecutors in him remains unclear.
