Donald Trump Jr struck a more genial, self-deprecating attitude over several hours of testimony on Wednesday and Thursday.
The oldest son of the former president had spent the past several hours on the witness stand, trying to distance himself from the questionable financial statements that a judge has already ruled fraudulent. According to Rosenberg, Donald Trump’s namesake son asked her to produce a portrait that could boost his romantic appeal.
Donald Jr said it made Bankman-Fried look like a “superstar,” Rosenberg told Reuters. The firm-jawed, spiky-haired subject in that picture bears little resemblance to the notoriously disheveled Bankman-Fried, who is now a defendant in a criminal fraud trial that could send him to prison for decades.
