After the New York attorney general last week rested her $250 million civil fraud caseagainst Donald Trump and top Trump Organization executives, lawyers for the former president will present the defense’s case beginning Monday with new testimony from Trump’s eldest son and co-defendant.
Donald Trump Jr. faced questions from a state attorney in the trial less than two weeks ago, distancing himself from the allegedly fraudulent financial statements at the center of the case and pinning responsibility on the experts and accountants who worked with the Trump Organization.
“I signed off on a document that [our accountants] prepared with intimate knowledge, and, as a trustee, I have an obligation to listen to those who are experts — who have an expertise of these things,” Trump Jr. testified.
