Trump Family Faces Legal Battles: From Fraud Trials to Losing Mar-a-Lago
Donald Trump Jr. will be the first defense witness in the New York Trump Organization civil fraud trial. The defense team, representing former President Donald Trump, his adult sons, and their company, will begin presenting their case on Monday. The judge has ruled that all witnesses can be called, but their testimony will be limited to relevant topics. The judge previously determined that the Trumps and their company are liable for "persistent and repeated" fraud. The remaining six claims in the case include falsifying business records, issuing false financial statements, insurance fraud, and conspiracy to commit fraud. The defense also plans to call bankers involved in issuing the loans mentioned in the lawsuit.
