Donald Trump Jr., executive vice president of development and acquisitions for Trump Organization Inc., speaks at the Turning Point Action conference in West Palm Beach, Fla., July 16, 2023.An ardent defender of his father on the campaign trail and on social media, Trump Jr. is expected to face questions about his role managing Trump's revocable trust -- the mechanism his father used to prevent potential business conflicts while he was president.
Trump Jr. could also face questions about why financial statements allegedly inflated the value of rent-stabilized units in the Trump Park Avenue building by 700%, ignoring the fixed rent of the units' low-income residents. According to James, Trump Jr. remarked that the rent-stabilized tenants in Trump's Park Avenue Building were "the bane of existence for quite some time."
However, Weisselberg also testified that Trump Jr. and his siblings became more involved in running the Trump Organization once their father became president in 2016, and that they received documents showing the internal finances of the company.Emails from Trump Jr. have been included in evidence presented during the trial, including a 2017 email chain from the Trump Organization's general counsel about the value of Trump's triplex apartment in Trump Tower.
Despite the error being called out, Trump Jr. and Weissberg still signed off on Trump's 2016 financial statement that falsely claimed Trump's triplex was 30,000 square feet and worth $327 million.
