Ex-Trump Organization executive Jeffrey McConney chokes up on stand at fraud trial, says he's "very proud" of work

Asked by his own lawyer Tuesday why he retired from the Trump Organization after nearly 40 years, the company's former controller, Jeffrey McConney, appeared to choke up. 

He left the company he "loved" because of all the investigations that have zeroed in on it, McConney said on the stand at the ongoing civil fraud trial in New York.

"I'm very proud of the work I did for 35 years," McConney said before listing several agencies that have subpoenaed him in recent years, including federal investigators from the Southern District of New York and the state's attorney general. He also described testifying before a grand jury, though he neglected to mention days of witness testimony in the company's 2022 criminal fraud trial.
