McConney, who served as the controller for the Trump Organization, required a tissue to compose himself as he shared poignant memories of his time with the organization. New York Daily News’ courts reporter, Molly Crane-Newman, captured the emotional scene, detailing McConney’s recollections.
“I got to do a lot of things that a normal accountant wouldn’t be able to,” McConney stated, his voice tinged with nostalgia, according to Crane-Newman. The retired controller was observed dabbing his eyes with a tissue, emphasizing the depth of his emotional response.

The unexpected emotional display sheds light on the personal connection McConney felt towards his role within the Trump Organization, transcending the typical professional boundaries of an accountant.
