During the recent testimony, Jeffrey McConney acknowledged that sending a check from the trust account instead of Donald Trump's personal account was a 'mistake.' McConney stated that he was instructed that Trump 'should be paying from his personal account,' leading to the account being switched from the trust to Trump's personal account.
One of the challenges highlighted by McConney was the difficulty in obtaining Trump's signature on a check, especially since Trump had relocated to Washington, DC. This change in Trump's location posed a logistical hurdle for the accounting department, as they had to navigate the process of ensuring payments were made appropriately now that Trump held the position of president.
