Donald Trump Jr. speaks during the fourth day of the Conservative Political Action Conference on Feb. 27, 2022, in Orlando. Jr. began testifying Wednesday afternoon in a multimillion-dollar civil case that accuses him, his father and other Trump Organization executives of cheating in business deals.to be called as a witness by New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office in the fraud case against the family and the company.Trump Jr. is one of the defendants in the trial, which began Oct.
The case has the potential to essentially stifle Trump’s ability to conduct business in New York by restricting the ability of officers to do their jobs, by preventing the company from obtaining new loans and from acquiring new properties. The trial involves a civil case, not a criminal one, so no one involved faces any time behind bars as a result.
