Trump's Witness Breaks Down in Tears, Exposing Fraud Trial Woes

Former Trump Organization executive, Jeffrey McConney, testified in Donald Trump's civil fraud trial in New York, linking Trump directly to the alleged conspiracy and fraud counts. McConney's handwritten note, "DJT to get final review," on a draft of Trump's net-worth statement for 2014 implicates Trump in the exaggerations of billions of dollars in the annual statements. The testimony contradicts Trump's previous claims of little involvement in the drafting process. The trial, brought by the New York Attorney General, seeks at least $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump and four others from running a New York business again.
