Trump Jr. Testifies in Fraud Trial, Trump Empire in Peril

Donald Trump Jr testified in the ongoing fraud trial against his father and the Trump Organization, attempting to distance himself from the financial statements at the center of the case. Trump Jr claimed he did not recall key details, including his father's role as a trustee and his own involvement in creating the statements. The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has accused the Trumps of fraudulently inflating the former president's wealth to secure better loans. Trump Jr's testimony comes after a witness testified about the losses banks suffered due to the alleged fraud. The trial aims to determine the penalty, with James seeking $250 million and the cancellation of Trump's business licenses in New York.
