Eric Trump spoke to the press after a day of testifying at his father’s New York City fraud trial on Friday; he told reporters that New York is “going to hell.”
“We have some of the best assets in New York. We’ve never had a default. We’ve never missed a loan payment…This state is going to hell. And it’s because of people like the attorney general of New York.”
“We’re going to win this thing. I promise you we’re going to win it because we haven’t done a damn thing wrong.”
From Newsmax:
Eric, 39, and his elder brother Donald Jr., 45, are executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, a sprawling network of companies managing residential buildings, office skyscrapers, luxury hotels and golf courses around the world.
Don Jr. testified for two days this week and was followed on the stand by his younger brother.
Both brothers adopted essentially the same line of defense — that company financial statements the authorities allege were fraudulent were drawn up by their accountants and they relied on them for their accuracy.
Eric Trump said his father is “certainly going to be here” to testify on Monday.
“I know he’s very fired up to be here,” he said. “And he thinks that this is one of the most incredible injustices that he’s ever seen.”
