Eric Trump, center, appears at the fraud trial for his father, former President Donald Trump, at New York Supreme Court, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023. Friday to testify at the civil fraud trial that accuses his father of exaggerating his wealth and the value of his assets to deceive banks and insurers.
Another executive of his father’s company testified that Eric Trump was on a video call about his father’s financial statement as recently as 2021. The family and company were aware by then that James’ office was looking into the statements. But Eric reiterated Friday that he had no memory of the call.
The Trump son has testified that he barely remembers McArdle. But as for his own views on the potential development’s value, “I think a thousand dollars per square foot would absolutely be achievable, yes,” he told the court Thursday. The villas were never built. The Trumps are being summoned to the stand by James’ office, but defense lawyers will also have a chance to question them and can call them back as part of the defense case later.
