Donald Trump is set to testify in his New York civil fraud trial
Donald Trump Jr. stated that his accountants prepared the financial statements for the Trump Organization, not him
Eric Trump testified that he relied on accountants and lawyers to verify the accuracy of financial documents

The civil fraud trial against Donald Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, is currently underway in New York. The case alleges that Trump's financial statements inflated his net worth by billions of dollars, misleading lenders and securing better interest and insurance rates. Both of Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., have testified in the trial.

Eric Trump testified that he relied on accountants and lawyers to verify the accuracy of financial documents. He was presented with evidence showing that he had signed off on the accuracy of his father's financial statements when securing loans for properties. He was also confronted with emails where he discussed classifying his father's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida as a private residence, which would boost its value.

Donald Trump Jr. also testified, stating that his accountants prepared the financial statements for the Trump Organization, not him. He claimed the case was a political persecution. The trial has been marked by controversy, with the judge barring attorneys from commenting on 'confidential communications' between him and his staff. The defense team has accused the judge's principal law clerk of bias.

Despite the allegations, Trump himself has insisted that the banks suffered no harm and have no complaints. The trial continues, and the outcome could have significant implications for Trump's real estate empire.
