Overview

• The Tuesday night exchange began when Chris Cuomo asked whether the Trump administration is now pursuing political opponents in the way it once criticized.
• Eric Trump denied any such “weaponization,” rattling off rhetorical questions about raids, attempts to bankrupt Joe Biden, or coordinating with prosecutors, and he claimed the 91 felony counts his father faced were overturned.
• He argued investigators sought to “destroy” his family, alleging efforts to seize assets and remove the Trump name from New York City buildings.
• Trump compared his family’s legal battles to the Cuomo family’s, asserting that “the very same people” tried to ruin Andrew Cuomo’s governorship and harmed Chris Cuomo.
• He invoked former FBI Director James Comey—described in coverage as indicted—and accused him of lying to Congress and leaking memos to The New York Times, framing the episode as proof of broader misconduct.
