TFG Org official who reportedly testified for prosecutors previously said TFG misused charity funds
A high-ranking Trump Organization official gave testimony in 2017 that detailed how ex-President Donald Trump misused funds, according to a transcript of the deposition obtained by The Daily Beast.
That same employee, Jeff McConney, also reportedly testified before a Manhattan grand jury this year as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the Trump Organization's finances.
Earlier this month, Manhattan prosecutors announced a 15-count indictment against the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg, alleging they took part in a yearslong tax evasion scheme. Both the company and Weisselberg pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The indictment did not include any charges related to the company's or Trump's personal charity work. But McConney's testimony could inform future charges brought in the investigation.

Inside the Trump Org Money Man's Interview with Investigators
Jeff McConney, a high-ranking accountant at the Trump Organization, has reportedly already testified before the special grand jury in New York that yielded a criminal indictment against the company. But as prosecutors look at additional charges, never-before-seen testimony from McConney during an earlier civil case four years ago shows that while this Trump insider quickly acknowledges when the company runs afoul of the law, he does his best to protect the boss.
Through a public records request, The Daily Beast obtained a transcript of a confidential 2017 interview between the New York attorney general’s office and McConney, who has been a controller at the Trump Organization for more than three decades.
During that interview, McConney addressed a number of scandals at the now-defunct Trump Foundation. And even though he was quick to defend Donald Trump himself, McConney showed a willingness to admit errors that could help prosecutors build their case now.
Take, for instance, the controversy over Mar-a-Lago getting hit with $120,000 in local fines and Trump using his donor-funded charity to settle a lawsuit with the town of Palm Beach, Florida.
