Jeffrey McConney testified Monday that Cohen was paid with funds withdrawn from Trump’s own account
Day 12 of Donald Trump’s Manhattan trial began with a new witness to the stand, Jeffrey McConney, a former employee of the Trump Organization who prosecutors say helped arrange a $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, who alleges had a sexual encounter with the former president.
In his testimony on Monday, McConney, who served as a financial controller, reprised his role in the Trump Organization’s 2022 civil fraud trial, The New York Times reported, discussing his interactions with the company’s former chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg.
McConney said that he and Weisselberg, who is currently in jail, had been close and would eat lunch together every day.
