Eric Trump Testifies: I Know Nothing About Our Books

November 3, 2023 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

CNN reports:

Eric Trump’s two days in court have ended after roughly an hour on the stand Friday. Speaking to the media outside of the courtroom, he touted the success of his family’s company and decried the trial as a “witch hunt” for “political purposes.” Next up on the stand is his father, Donald Trump, who on Monday will testify in a historic moment where the former president will be publicly under oath to discuss his business practices.

The Guardian reports:

Asked if he remembered a 2013 phone call about a statement of financial condition – documents at the heart of the case against the Trumps, prosecutors alleging they routinely made inaccurate statements in search of financial advantage – his answer was longer than his brother’s. But it still contained the magic words. “I don’t believe I ever saw or worked on the statement of financial condition,” Eric Trump said. “I don’t believe I had any knowledge of it. I think I was 26 years old. I don’t recall – I was not aware of it, I never worked on it, and I didn’t know about it until this case came into fruition.”

The New Republic reports:



After claiming that he had “never worked” on the Trump Organization’s statement of financial condition and wasn’t aware of it until the bank fraud trial “came to fruition,” the taller Trump brother admitted he was in fact aware of it dating as far back as 2013. The “gotcha” moment has big implications for how the rest of this case will unfold. The brothers have largely skirted specifics, blaming their faulty memories for the total lapses.
