Judge orders McGreevey’s boyfriend to disclose his bank records
James McGreevey
ELIZABETH, N.J.—A judge has ordered the boyfriend of former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey to turn over records from three joint bank accounts the gay couple share as part of the ongoing divorce proceedings between McGreevey and his estranged wife.
However, Australian-born investment manager Mark O’Donnell won’t be forced to reveal his salary, stock portfolio or any financial dealings with New Jersey politicians, Union County Superior Court Judge Karen Cassidy ruled Feb. 7.
Cassidy said O’Donnell’s other finances are not relevant to McGreevey’s divorce case.
Dina Matos McGreevey sought broad access to O’Donnell’s ledger sheet, contending the gay couple’s money is intertwined.
Of the three accounts, one checking account had $195,000 in deposits over 10 months, court papers showed. Another has a near-zero balance; details about the third account were not disclosed in court.
O’Donnell is chief investment officer of the Kushner Companies, a private real estate development firm chaired by Charles Kushner, a once-prominent Democratic campaign donor who served time in federal prison for campaign and tax-law violations.
McGreevey’s partner argued that his assets should be kept private. He said in court papers he is not financially responsible for Dina McGreevey or the couple’s 6-year-old daughter.
The McGreeveys are battling over child support and custody issues. She currently gets $2,500 a month.
