The ex-president's eldest son is an executive vice president of the family's Trump Organization and has been a trustee of a trust set set up to hold its assets when his father was in the White House. But when the son was asked whether he had ever worked on his father's “statement of financial condition” in any year, the scion said: “Not that I recall.”
The first family member to testify, Donald Trump Jr. greeted the scene with a quip. “I should have worn makeup,” he jested as news photographers took his photo. Eric Trump is expected to take the stand next. Then the former president, family patriarch and 2024 Republican front-runner is slated for Monday. State lawyers have also expected to call his eldest daughter, ex-Trump Organization executive and White House adviser Ivanka Trump, as their final witness on Nov. 8. On Wednesday, her lawyer filed an appeal challenging a judge's decision to require her testimony.
“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 Monday on Newsmax. “It doesn't matter. They have a narrative, they have an end goal, and they'll do whatever it takes to get there.”
David McArdle, an appraiser at commercial real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield, testified that Eric Trump had substantial input on valuing planned-but-never-built townhomes at a Trump-owned golf course in the New York City suburbs. McArdle said Eric Trump arrived at a “more lofty value” than he did for the project but that going with the scion's higher number wouldn't have been credible.
