Trump Jr. Testifies in New York Civil Fraud Trial

Trump Jr. Praises Father's Real Estate Acumen as Courtroom Remains Half Full

  • Donald Trump Jr. returned to the witness stand in the ongoing New York civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization, testifying as a defense witness.
  • Trump Jr. spent most of the day praising his father's real estate acumen and the Trump Organization's properties, referring to his father as an 'artist with real estate'.
  • New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit alleges that the Trump Organization exaggerated Donald Trump's wealth and the value of his assets by billions of dollars to secure better deals and loans.
  • The lawsuit seeks more than $250 million in what James alleges were ill-gotten gains and a ban on the Trumps from doing business in New York.
  • Despite the high stakes of the trial, the courtroom was reportedly barely half full during Trump Jr.'s testimony.
