Eric Trump Testifies for Second Day in $250M Civil Fraud Trial
Eric and Donald Jr. Face Legal Challenges
Eric Trump, the son of former US President Donald Trump, continued his testimony on Friday in a civil fraud case brought against him, his father, and their company by the New York Attorney General's office.
Second Day of Testimony
Eric Trump, who spent several tense hours on the witness stand on Thursday, returned for a second day of testimony in the trial, which alleges that the Trump Organization misled donors to the Trump Foundation, a charitable organization that has since been dissolved.
Legal Minefield
The case has cast a spotlight on Eric Trump and his brother, Donald Trump Jr., who have been stepping out of their father's shadow and into their own legal minefield. They face accusations of using the Trump Foundation to enrich themselves and their father's businesses.
Damning Allegations
The New York Attorney General's office alleges that the Trump Organization repeatedly misled donors by making false statements about how their money would be used. The suit seeks to dissolve the Trump Foundation and bar the Trumps from serving as directors of any nonprofit organizations in New York.
High-Stakes Trial
The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks and could have significant implications for the Trump family and their business empire. It is being closely watched by legal experts and the public alike, as it provides a glimpse into the inner workings of one of America's most prominent political families.
