Judge Juan Manuel Merchan declared McConney a hostile witness after prosecutors complained that he had been far more responsive to defense questioning, even though he was granted immunity to testify as a prosecution witness.
McConney, who still works for the Trump Organization and has a company-paid lawyer, acknowledged on the witness stand Monday that hes been speaking with company lawyers about his testimony when court wasnt in session. He said he even performed some tax calculations on their behalf Sunday night.
I think it is pretty clear to the average observer, he is very helpful to you (the defense), Merchan said. On the other hand, it seems like he has a really hard time understanding the peoples questions and he has a hard time, frankly, giving credible answers.
McConney is scheduled to return to the witness stand on Tuesday. As a hostile witness, he could be subject to several more hours of questioning as prosecutors seek to square his previous trial testimony and his answers to questions during eight grand jury appearances in the last few years.
