TL;DR Summary

In the ongoing Trump fraud trial, Donald Trump Jr. is set to testify as the first witness for the defense, aiming to prove that he and his family did not intentionally commit fraud. Trump Jr. previously testified under oath, denying any involvement in the preparation of his father's financial statements and stating that he consulted with lawyers and accountants before signing off on them. The defense argues that the financial statements were not misleading and that different valuations for the same properties can be subjective. They also claim that no banks lost money or were defrauded. The defense plans to call other family members, bankers, Trump Organization executives, and expert witnesses to support their case. The trial is seeking to prove multiple claims, including conspiracy, falsifying business records, and insurance fraud, with the state aiming to collect ill-gotten gains and ban the Trumps from doing business in New York.
