Trump Jr. says he wasn't involved in preparations of father's financial statements

During Thursday's questioning, Donald Trump Jr. repeatedly said that he relied on his accountants and was not involved with the preparations of financial statements for his father, even though he signed them as a trustee of the former president's trust.

As a trustee of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust starting in 2017, Trump Jr. signed certifications for annual financial submittals required for Trump Organization loans at Deutsche Bank for the Old Post Office, Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago and Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Florida.

Assistant Attorney General Colleen Faherty pressed Trump Jr. on whether he intended for the bank to use the information he had signed was accurate.

"I’m fine with the bank relying on that information," Trump Jr. said in response. "I don’t know that I intended for them to do anything. I’m signing off on it. It’s not a simple yes or no."

Faherty asked Trump Jr. several questions about the 2017 statement of financial condition and the supporting data spreadsheets accompanying those financial statements. After Trump Jr. said he had no knowledge of the preparation of those documents, she condensed her questioning about the financial statements 2018 through 2020.

“I think we can save ourselves a lot of time,” Trump Jr. said, confirming his answers would be the same for every year. He didn’t prepare the financial statements, and when he certified them as a trustee, he relied on the Trump Organization accounting and legal teams that he said would have assured him they were accurate to sign.

“Rinse and repeat,” he said.
