Eric Trump returning to the stand to continue testimony at New York fraud trial
CBSN
Eric Trump is expected to be called back to the stand Friday, one day after a lawyer for the New York Attorney General's Office called his testimony "extremely favorable" to the state's fraud case against the Trump family.
On Thursday, he and older brother Donald Trump Jr. each downplayed their connection to financial records at the center of the case against them. They testified that they had limited involvement with the preparation of financial documents that inflated the value of Trump Organization properties and their father's wealth.
The judge in the case has already found the Trumps and their company liable for fraud, determining that they manipulated financial statements to obtain favorable deals with banks and insurers. New York Attorney General Letita James says the family profited from fraud to the tune of at least $250 million. The Trumps and the other co-defendants in the case deny all wrongdoing.
