He says he had little to do with preparing financial documents at the family’s company.
NEW YORK: Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr testified on Wednesday that he had little to do with preparing financial documents at the family real-estate company that a judge has found fraudulent, in a trial that could hobble the former US president’s business empire.
“They could have asked me on any given day what a deal was worth,” he said, adding: “I may not have known that it was going to be used in aggregate for the statements of financial condition.”His testimony is expected to continue into Thursday afternoon and could delve deeper into his role managing properties and licensing deals. Eric is scheduled to testify after he is finished, followed by his sister Ivanka Trump on Friday. Their father is set to testify on Monday.
James is seeking at least US$250 million in fines, a permanent ban against Trump and his two adult sons from running businesses in New York and a five-year commercial real estate ban against Trump and the Trump Organization. The elder Trump also faces four separate criminal prosecutions, including cases in Washington and Georgia related to his attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.Trump has denied wrongdoing and has repeatedly accused James and Engoron of political bias.
