Donald Trump Jr., the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, has returned to the witness stand in the ongoing New York civil fraud trial against his father's real estate empire. The lawsuit, initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that the Trumps inflated their wealth on financial statements to secure loans and make deals. The defense has planned to call several expert witnesses to refute testimony from state witnesses.
In his testimony, Donald Trump Jr. stated that he never worked on the financial statements and relied on the company's finance chief and outside accountants for their accuracy. This point was reiterated in multiple sources, indicating a consistent narrative from the defense. The trial is proceeding after the defense's request for an early end was rebuffed. Following Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony, a tax lawyer who also testified as a state witness is expected to take the stand.
The lawsuit seeks at least $250 million in damages and restrictions that would bar Trump and his adult sons from New York's real estate industry. Donald Trump has accused James and the judge overseeing the case of political bias and 'election interference.' However, these allegations have not been substantiated.
The trial continues to unfold, with key developments and testimonies being closely monitored. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the Trump Organization and its future operations.
