Donald Trump’s eldest son took the witness stand in the business fraud trial against him.
Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday took the stand in his father’s business fraud trial in New York, and his testimony was marked by several instances of him stating he didn’t remember details or events.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing former President Donald Trump for $250 million, accusing him of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars to obtain benefits such as better bank loans and reduced tax bills. Trump maintains his innocence in the case and has accused prosecutors of targeting him for political purposes.
James compelled testimony from Trump’s three eldest children in the business fraud lawsuit. Trump Jr., who has served as an executive vice president of The Trump Organization after joining in 2001, was the first of the former president’s children to testify in the civil trial.
During his testimony, Trump Jr. insisted that he did not „recall“ the answer to more than one question involving his father and the family business.
