Donald Trump Jr. to testify in New York fraud case

to the stand this afternoon. He is a defendant in this case because of his position with the Trump Organization. Now, the New York State Attorney General's office has accused former President Trump and the other co defendants of inflating the value of company properties and assets through fraud. This to secure better loan terms. Now, given that Trump Jr. Is an executive director of the New York State Attorney General's Office, he's been accused of inflating the value of company properties and assets through fraud. This to secure better loan terms. Now, given that Trump Jr. Is an executive vice president, prosecutors allege that he would have been privy to any action that substantiates the state's claims. Now his testimony could be lengthy actually could be testy at times as you come back to us because his family has repeatedly insisted that no wrongdoing was done on their part. And again, Trump Jews expected to take the stand this afternoon. There will break for lunch sometime around one, so it could be two o'clock because this testimony on the stand right now is expected to be very busy and will probably lengthen down over time and ultimately determine who gets question on this from where we are right now. I have a complete report coming up today to you, Antoine, Thank you very much. Appreciate it. For more information go to fox�omni UI
