As former US president Donald Trump’s trial enters the second day of witness testimony, his son Eric Trump expressed remarks in defence of his father but made a blunder while doing so.
Donald Trump arrived courthouse in Manhattan Tuesday to face a hush money trial and the 34 felonies of allegedly falsifying business records to pay $130,000 to an adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. During the trial, reports indicate that the businessman’s attorney had a heated exchange with judge Juan Merchan.
While speaking with Fox News Monday, Eric Trump said: “Every time I watch my father walk into that courtroom it breaks my heart because [the Democrats] will stop at nothing […] to take the man down and no one believes this nonsense, right?”
Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization also told the outlet how his father is being wronged and being trialled as the presidential elections in November are approaching.
He also claimed that his father is facing such trials because he was winning the “polls” as the Republican presumptive nominee.
“My father was focused on ‘running the United States of America’, not bookkeeping, not that anything was done wrong in the bookkeeping,” he went on.
What he got wrong was that his father was not even the commander-in-chief of the country during the hush money payment, because it was before the 2016 elections.
