Trump Sons, Don Jr. and Eric, Set to Testify in Ongoing Fraud Trial Threatening Family Business Empire

As the fraud trial threatens Trump Organization's future, executive vice presidents, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who are both defendants in the case, prepare to testify on their roles in alleged exaggeration of the company's wealth; their testimonies are part of blockbuster stretch featuring involvement from other Trump family members, including Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump.

  • Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the sons of former President Donald Trump, and executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, are set to testify in the ongoing New York civil fraud case that threatens their family business empire.
  • New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges that the Trumps conspired to exaggerate their wealth by billions of dollars on financial statements used to secure loans and deals; Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump deny these allegations.
  • Donald Trump Jr. has been involved in running the Trump Organization's property development and managing Trump's revocable trust, while Eric Trump has overseen operations.
  • Eric Trump reportedly had input on value assessments of Trump-owned properties and Donald Trump Jr.'s knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which are said to have been inconsistently used in financial reporting, may be questioned.
  • The judgement of the case, which is by a judge rather than a jury, could potentially strip the Trump family of properties like Trump Tower, following a pre-trial ruling that Trump's financial statements were fraudulent.
