Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump will be back on the stand Friday for a second day of testimony in the New York civil fraud case against him, his family and their business. Eric Trump’s brother Donald Trump Jr. wrapped up his testimony Thursday.
The New York Attorney General’s office pressed the brothers in tense exchanges in court Thursday about their knowledge of and involvement with the financial documents at the center of the $250 million lawsuit. The attorney general’s lawyers presented evidence intended to challenge claims that the brothers were not involved with the former president’s statements of financial condition.
Trump's adult sons are accused in the lawsuit of knowingly participating in a scheme to inflate their father’s net worth to obtain financial benefits like better loan and insurance policy terms. The case is civil, not criminal, but threatens Donald Trump's business in New York. The former president is expected to testify on Monday.
