Overview

• Eric Trump claimed on Newsmax that officials tried to “separate” the Trump family and even “get [Donald Trump] divorced,” offering no independent evidence.
• He said he has been hit with 112 subpoenas and insisted he has done nothing wrong.
• He cited actions he attributes to authorities, including posting Donald Trump’s mugshot, executing the Mar-a-Lago search, raiding Melania Trump’s closet and Barron Trump’s room, imposing gag orders, and restricting bank accounts.
• He asserted that Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland were “at the forefront” of efforts against his family and business.
• The interview came after the DOJ indicted former FBI Director James Comey on perjury and obstruction charges, with an Oct. 9 arraignment set in Alexandria, and some legal analysts have criticized the case’s prospects.
