Attorney Accuses Eric Trump of Disregarding Justice System in Civil Fraud Trial

Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, is facing criticism from a criminal defense attorney over his recent comments during his family's civil fraud trial. Attorney Randy Zelin, appearing on Newsmax, likened Eric Trump's comments to "taking a dump" on the justice system.

The Trump family, including Eric and his brother Donald Jr., along with The Trump Organization, are being sued by New York Attorney General Letitia James for $250 million. The lawsuit alleges that the family inflated Donald Trump's net worth and the value of his assets to secure better deals and loans. The Trumps have consistently denied the accusations, claiming they are politically motivated.

Last month, New York Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that the Trumps had committed fraud, and the court will now rule on six other accusations, including falsifying business records and insurance fraud. If found guilty, Donald Trump could lose some of his properties and be barred from doing business in New York.

Eric Trump took the stand on Friday to testify in the trial, and afterward, he denounced the proceedings as a "charade" and reiterated his family's innocence. Zelin, known for his appearances on Newsmax, criticized Eric Trump's comments, stating that they showed a lack of respect for the justice system.

The outcome of the trial will have significant implications for Donald Trump and his potential 2024 presidential campaign. As Trump prepares to testify in his defense, the public will be closely watching his responses and reactions during the trial. Stay tuned for more updates on this historic fraud trial.
