TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump Jr. has returned to testify as the defense's first witness in the civil fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James against him, his father, the Trump Organization, and other executives. Trump Jr. previously testified earlier this month when called by James' office, and now he is discussing the Trump Organization's history and properties, emphasizing his father's "genius" and vision. The defense presented a lengthy slideshow, which included valuations of properties, and Trump Jr. asserted that his father's valuations were accurate as the properties grew in value. The trial is proceeding on allegations of falsification of business records and conspiracy, with the state seeking "disgorgement" of ill-gotten gains.
