Donald Trump Jr. appears in New York Supreme Court, Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, in New York. Donald Trump’s eldest sons are set to testify in the New York civil fraud case that threatens their company’s future, but a demand for …New York Attorney General Letitia James says Donald Trump Jr. showed “very little understanding” of the financial machinery within the Trump Organization despite being a senior player in the family business for years.
Mr. Trump Jr., the ex-president’s oldest child, testified that he relied on accountants to prepare financial statements while he spent his time on real estate deals. “We will continue to show their involvement in the family’s fraudulent business practices,” Ms. James said. Before the trial began, Judge Arthur Engoron found Mr. Trump liable for misrepresenting the value of some of his properties, handing Ms. James an early victory on one of her claims.
