The former US president's eldest son testifies in court, ahead of more family appearances in the coming days.

Donald Trump Jr has become the first Trump family member to testify in the New York civil fraud trial which threatens his father Donald Trump's real estate empire.

The judge is seeking at least $US250 million in fines, a permanent ban on Mr Trump and his two adult sons from running businesses in New York and a five-year commercial real estate ban against Mr Trump and the Trump Organization. At least one of those annual financial statements contains language saying the trustees "are responsible" for the document.

When asked whether he belonged to an accountants organisation, Mr Trump replied, "Sounds very exciting, but no." "It doesn't matter. They have a narrative, they have an end goal, and they'll do whatever it takes to get there."
