NEW YORK — Manhattan prosecutors rested their case against the Trump Organization on Monday without calling their last witness — renewing questions about whether the district attorney still has his sights set on former President Donald Trump.
Much of the DA’s case against the former president’s family real estate business, which lasted eight days spread out over three weeks, focused on two of its senior executives. They were company Controller Jeff McConney and his convicted ex-boss, Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg.
Weisselberg, 75 — the company’s veteran financial gatekeeper who pleaded guilty to the scheme at the heart of the case in August — told jurors that he’d worked with McConney to dodge taxes on lavish perks that Trump put in Weisselberg’s pocket over 15 years.
