#TrumpTrial Nov 2, 2023, PM

#NYAG cont’d direct of #EricTrump re #SFC, #appraisals, his claimed ignorance of #financial stmnts, & his involvement w/inflating #Trump’s #NetWorth.

NYAG started w/an email exchange between Eric & #TrumpOrganization’s #JeffMcConney:

Email from #McConney to Eric, Aug 23, 2013 ends:

"With all of the renovations that were done since the last statement in June 2015 I wanted to ask you if there is anything you wanted to add to or expand in the footnotes?"

#law #fraud

#Weisselberg is shown this clause from his agreement w/ #Mazars.
"We have not knowingly withheld from you any financial records or related data that in our judgment would be relevant to your compilation”

Throughout the case, #Trump & his co-defendants have argued the #appraisals not listed on #financial statements weren't material.

Solomon notes that the clause above doesn't have the word "material."

Weisselberg agrees.

#Weisselberg, a #defendant testifying as a prosecution #witness, is expected to testify about his role in preparing Trump’s annual #financial statements — incl’g conversations they had while finalizing docs, which were given to #banks, #insurers & others to make deals & secure #loans.

James’ lawsuit alleges Weisselberg engineered #Trump’s #financial stmnts to meet his demands they show increases in his #NetWorth & signed off on lofty #valuations for #assets despite #appraisals to the contrary.
