Donald Trump Jr at center of his family’s civil fraud trial
Amid social media furor, Donald Trump Jr took center stage at the family’s civil fraud trial in New York.
Describing his father as an “artist” and a “genius” in real estate, he aimed to strengthen the defense in a case that could jeopardize the Trump Organization’s business in New York.
Despite the seriousness of the trial, much of Trump Jr’s testimony seemed tangential to the main allegations being examined, according to the BBC.
During his court appearance, Trump Jr maintained an affable demeanor, employing humor that sometimes veered toward self-deprecation.
He lightened the mood by joking about potential lawsuits and even joked about his displeasure with the courtroom sketches.
Whether recalling his humble beginnings as a bartender or highlighting his rise within the Trump Organization, his story weaved anecdotes illustrating his professional journey.
