CNN —The former controller of the Trump Organization says that Eric Trump directed him to make certain decisions that led to the inflated valuations of several Trump properties.
Jeff McConney, also a co-defendant of former President Donald Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., testified Friday as the first week of the civil fraud trial came to an end.
(Attorneys for Eric Trump have argued he was not aware that any phone conversations with McConney were used to formulate value assets in the financial statements for Trump properties.)
McConney testified that he did not know at the time that Trump had deeded away his right to develop the property beyond its use as a social club in 2005.
He said he did this at the direction of Eric Trump, who oversaw the project.
