Donald Trump Jr returned to court on Monday as something of a character witness for his father’s property empire, waxing exuberantly about the former president’s “incredible vision” as a developer and his company’s portfolio of “great, iconic projects” at the New York civil fraud trial now threatening its future.

Donald Trump’s eldest son was making an encore appearance at the trial, this time as defence lawyers started calling their own witnesses.
