Donald Trump Jr took to the witness stand on Wednesday at the civil fraud trial over whether his father overstated his wealth to banks and insurers, in a case that threatens former US president Donald Trump’s real-estate empire.The ex-president’s son is the first of his children to testify, kicking off a blockbuster stretch as the trial in New York attorney general Letitia James’s lawsuit enters its second month.
State lawyers have expected to call his eldest daughter, ex-Trump Organisation executive and White House adviser Ivanka Trump, as their final witness on November 8. Her lawyer filed an appeal on Wednesday challenging a judge’s decision to require her testimony. Eric Trump has oversight over the company’s operations, while Donald Trump Jr has been involved in running the company’s property development.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr has not been to court, but since testimony began on October 2, he has repeatedly denounced the case and Judge Engoron as a “kangaroo court”.“It doesn’t matter what the rules are, it doesn’t matter what the constitution says, it doesn’t matter what general practices and business would be,” Donald Trump Jr said on Monday on Newsmax.
