Donald Trump Jr. will be called back to the stand Monday in his family's New York civil fraud trial, an attorney for the Trumps said in court Thursday.
Trump Jr. was previously called to the stand on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3, when he testified that the Trump Organization's internal and outside accountants were responsible for the financial statements at the center of the $250 million fraud case.
