#Trump took the witness stand shortly after 10AM ET, Monday, November 6, 2023.
Atty #KevinWallace is questioning on direct for the #NYAG. The first topic is the #DonaldJTrumpRevocableTrust, which was used to hold Trump’s assets while he was in office.
Wallace is asking about 2021, & trustee changes that year. Wallace asks what was different that year.
Trump:
“Well other than you & every other Democrat [bringing investigations]”
(Oh-frickin-joy straight to the antagonizing)
(The trust was set up to hold #Trump’s business assets during his presidency to avoid conflicts of interest.)
#NYAG questions #DonaldTrumpJr about other certifications re #Trump’s #SFCs they sent to #lenders over several years.
There are more letters to #banks from #Mazars. Each letter, every time says that the #trustees (Jr & #AllenWeisselberg) of the #DonaldJTrumpRevocableTrust are responsible for the Trump's SFCs (oops).
#NYAG asks #DonaldTrumpJr more about his certification of Trump’s #SFCs for other yrs, & he answers he doesn't recall details, but he that he would have followed the same process in those yrs.
#NYAG shows another 2017 letter sent to #DeutscheBank from #Mazars, the #TrumpOrganization's fmr accounting firm.
It says BASED ON discussions Mazars had w/ the #trustees (Jr & #AllenWeisselberg) of the #DonaldJTrumpRevocableTrust, #Trump’s #SFCs are correct.
