Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, attends the fraud trial of the Trump Organization in New York City on Nov. 2, 2023.Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization and a son of former President Donald Trump, has begun testifying at a civil trial at the New York County Supreme Court. The trial accuses him, his brother Donald Trump Jr.
When asked directly by New York Judge Arthur Engoron if he had anything to do with statements of financial condition issued by the Trump Organization, Trump Jr. said"No, I did not, your honor." Trump Jr. testified that he didn't recall being involved in the compilation of the statements of financial condition for Donald Trump, but that he had the responsibility to sign off on the documents. He said he relied on others, like Weisselberg, to vet the documents.The former president is expected to take the witness stand on Monday, marking the first time he is formally called up to publicly testify in any of his pending trials.
Although Engoron has already ruled that the Trump Organization filed fraudulent statements of financial condition, several issues remain to be resolved at trial. This includes whether the fraud was committed on purpose and how much of a penalty should be paid if the defendants are found liable.
