"Trump Fraud Trial: Donald Trump Jr.'s Testimony Under Scrutiny"

In Donald Trump's New York fraud trial, his defense team presented expert witnesses who argued that property appraisals are subjective and can be manipulated to achieve desired outcomes. The experts emphasized the various methodologies that can be used to determine a property's value, including liquidation value, reproduction value, assessed value for property tax purposes, and comparable sales. They asserted that there is no right or wrong method as long as it is disclosed. The defense case is expected to continue for another month, with the state seeking financial penalties and a permanent ban on Trump and his sons from running a business in New York.

Donald Trump Jr. testifies in New York civil fraud trial, trial intensifies

In the New York civil fraud trial against Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. testified as the first defense witness. Trump Jr. discussed the history of the Trump Organization, highlighting various properties and their transformations under his father's leadership. The defense was allowed to submit a valuation document of Trump's Doral Golf Resort & Spa, valued at $1.3 billion, despite objections from the New York attorney general's team. Trump Jr. also admitted that it was a "mistake" not to pursue new deals while his father was president. The trial, now in its seventh week, has seen 25 witnesses testify, and the defense is expected to call back Eric Trump and Donald Trump to the stand.
