Donald Trump's eldest son, Don Jr, has taken the stand in the civil fraud trial against the family and their business.

Donald Trump Jr is named as a defendant in the US$250 million lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general's office against the former president, his company and several executives, including three of his adult children.

In a deposition taken last year, Trump Jr distanced himself from the financial statements Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled to be fraudulent in a summary judgment before the trial began. Donald Trump Jr has worked in commercial leasing for the Trump Organisation, including the company's 40 Wall Street property at issue in the lawsuit.

He testified in his deposition that he relied on the accounting and legal departments at Trump Organisation when he signed the paperwork."Those people would have more intimate understanding of the specifics of those things. And whoever was bringing me a document, if it was more accounting, it was probably from accounting. If it was more legal, it would be from legal.
