Trump's Civil Fraud Trial: Defense Points to Bankers as Proof of Innocence

In Donald Trump's civil fraud trial, his defense lawyers plan to call his son Eric Trump and additional expert witnesses to testify on his behalf. The trial, initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses Trump and other defendants of inflating asset values to obtain favorable loans and insurance deals. Last week, bankers from Deutsche Bank testified, with one stating that the bank conducted its own due diligence and adjusted Trump's net worth downward. The court also heard from a former Deutsche Bank employee who oversaw loans to Trump. The trial is in its fourth week, and after Trump's lawyers rest their case, the attorney general's lawyers will call rebuttal witnesses. The trial will break until January, with a decision expected later in the month.
