Donald Trump Jr. testifies in his father’s civil fraud trial
Donald Trump Jr. recently testified in the civil fraud trial involving his father, former President Donald Trump, which centers on whether they misled banks and insurers by inflating the former president’s net worth on financial statements. During his testimony, Donald Trump Jr. stated that he had never worked on his father’s financial statements, despite being an executive vice president of the Trump Organization and a trustee of a trust holding its assets.
Trump Jr. claimed to have left the work on financial statements to outside accountants and the company’s then-finance chief, Allen Weisselberg. He emphasized that as a trustee, he relied on experts and their accounting assessments, as he did not directly work on the documents.
The lawsuit, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Donald Trump, his company, and top executives conspired to exaggerate his wealth by billions of dollars on financial statements provided to secure loans and make deals. The trial has garnered significant attention and is part of ongoing legal battles involving the former president.
The Trump family members, including Eric Trump, are being called to testify in the trial. The case has raised questions about the financial dealings of the Trump Organization and their potential legal ramifications.
