Eric Trump is pressed on Seven Springs property valuation
From CNN's Lauren del Valle, Kara Scannell and Jeremy Herb
Assistant attorney general Andrew Amer quickly got to the heart of the civil fraud case once Donald Trump's son Eric Trump took the stand, asking him about his knowledge of his father’s financial statements
Former Trump Org. Controller Jeffrey McConney, a co-defendant, notated two phone calls with Eric Trump in support of the valuation for the Seven Springs property in Westchester County, New York, which McConney included in his data for the 2013 financial statement.
Eric Trump said he didn’t’ remember the calls, but also said he doesn’t have a reason to doubt they happened if McConney wrote it in the spreadsheet. He added that he didn’t work on his father’s statement of financial condition.
“People ask me questions all the time but I never worked on the statement of financial condition,” Eric Trump said.
“I never worked on it at the time, and I didn't know anything about it really until this case came into fruition," he added.
Eric Trump confirmed he ran the daily operations of the Trump Organization with his brother Donald Jr. and chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg when his father became president in 2017.
