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.

Internal Trump Org. spreadsheets shown in court Friday show notations by McConney that say Eric Trump directed McConney in phone conversations about certain property valuations that would later appear on the financial statements the judge in this case has ruled fraudulent.

McConney testified that in those phone calls that Eric Trump directed him to factor certain things into the calculations that ultimately led to what the New York attorney general says are inflated valuations of properties including Seven Springs and the Trump National Golf Club Westchester.

1. It's just hard for me to imagine having Eric Trump as my boss, and following his advice

I can't even imagine any plausibly competent individual in that position...

[LudwigPastorius]

2. Yeah.

I don't think the caporegimes and footsoldiers liked being under Fredo Corleone either.

But, he's family. Whattaya gonna do?

[global1]

3. Eric Was Just Taking Direction From The Real Boss That Was Running.....

the Tr**p Organization from the White House.

Says he turned the organization over to his sons while he was president. Sure!!!

5. In that case, DJT will do the right thing and protect Eric.

He'll have to come clean and admit it was he who gave the order. It's what families do, right?

hahaha Eric is so screwed.

6. LOL! n/t

7. Da Fuck. Don't you learn from Sopranos?

Capo, captains and street level flunkies take the hit and they know their families will be taken care of while neighbors are told that Fredo is missing because he is in witness protection.

Meanwhile, Capo di Tutti Capos is shielded.

4. Every Trump is still trying to figure out a way to pin this on Tiffany

8. Poor Tif. No where near as good looking as Princess Sparkle Pony.

Not Daddy's favorite. Although he did show up at her wedding. He paid for the reception, too. Big Macs for all the guests. And large fries.


McFluries for desert.

13. Tiffany didn't get all the plastic surgery that Ivanka got.

They'd look pretty similar, otherwise. That Trump face.

[FakeNoose]

12. She's the only one in the family with a law degree

Go figure...

[louis-t]

9. And you know Eric is getting worried 'cause he's whining.

"The courtroom smells bad. It's a dump." I bet prison smells bad, too.

10. family accommodations in lock up?

[republianmushroom]

11. Aw, the dumb one, like father like son.
