Eric Trump tells fraud trial he had no knowledge of father’s financial affairs

Eric Trump, one of two sons entrusted to run Donald Trump’s real estate empire, swore on Thursday that he never involved himself with financial statements that state lawyers say fraudulently puffed up the ex-president’s wealth and the worth of the family business.
But when a New York state lawyer pulled up decade-old emails in which a fellow Trump Organisation executive asked him for information needed to complete one of his dad’s financial statements, the irritated son strove to clarify.
