Trump blasts Manhattan judge, defends his ‘very good children’ amid Trump Org civil trial from NYAG lawsuit

Former President Trump on Thursday blasted New York Judge Arthur Engoron and defended his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who he said are being 'persecuted in a political witch hunt.' Both of Trump's sons took the stand this week in the non-jury civil trial stemming from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit against Trump's family and businesses.

Trump’s post came amid his son Eric Trump’s testimony, and a day after his eldest son Donald Trump Jr. took the stand to defend their business. 'So sad to see my sons being PERSECUTED in a political Witch Hunt by this out of control, publicity seeking, New York State Judge, on a case that should have NEVER been brought,' Trump said.

Engoron in September ruled that Trump and the Trump Organization committed fraud while building his real estate empire by deceiving banks, insurers and others by overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing. Engoron’s ruling came after James sued Trump, his children and the Trump Organization, alleging that the former president 'inflated his net worth by billions of dollars' and said his children helped him to do so.
