Here is a wrap-up of the day’s key events:
Eric Trump distanced himself multiple times from the Trump Organization’s valuation work. He repeatedly claimed that he does not recall or was not involved processes surrounding statements of financial conditions.
At one point, he pointed to a former Trump Organization attorney when asked about an appraisal. “She’s the one running the process,” he said, referring to former counsel Sheri Dillon, despite emails shown in court that showed multiple exchanges he had with the appraiser in 2014.
He also responded to his deposition from earlier this year where he denied ever working on the statement of financial conditions. “I was not very familiar with my father’s financial statement,” he said in court.
Donald Trump Jr also took the stand today, continuing from his testimony yesterday. Upon being asked whether it’s a fair statement that he was generally familiar with the overall finances of the Trump Organization, he said, “I would think so, yes.”
Meanwhile, Donald Trump himself called judge Arthur Engoron a “fraudster.” In a fiery Truth Social post from earlier today, the former president accused the judge of “doing this out of his personal hatred of Trump.”
That’s it from today as we wrap up the blog. We’ll be back tomorrow. Thank you for following along.
Today’s hearing has ended.
The court will meet again tomorrow at 10am.
