NEW YORK (AP) — Eric Trump has testified that he was never involved with or aware of financial statements that New York state lawyers say fraudulently puffed up the ex-president’s wealth and the worth of their family business. He clarified his answer Thursday after he was shown decade-old emails from a fellow Trump executive asking him for information for the financial statement. Eric Trump testified: “We’re a major organization, a massive real estate organization — yes, I’m fairly sure I understand that we have financial statements.” But, he insisted: “I had no involvement and never worked on” Donald Trump’s financial statement. Eric Trump followed brother and co-executive Donald Trump Jr. in testifying at the family’s New York civil fraud trial. Their father is scheduled to testify Monday.
