Don Jr. testifies Trump could find ‘sexiness’ in real estate at civil fraud trial
Donald Trump’s Son Defends Former President at Fraud Trial, Highlights Real Estate “Sexiness”
Donald Trump’s son, Donald Jr., took the stand on Monday to defend his father in a civil fraud trial against their family business. In a captivating testimony, he praised his father’s ability to find the “sexiness” in real estate.
The trial, which has reached day 30, sees the Trump Organization’s lawyers presenting their rebuttal against Attorney General Letitia James. James aims to prove that Trump inflated asset values to secure favorable loans and insurance premiums.
Trump Jr. Highlights Father’s Real Estate Vision
During his testimony, Trump Jr. emphasized his father’s talent for finding value and doing things differently. He described Trump Tower, located at 725 5th Ave in New York City, as a “sexy place” and credited his father for creating a market for luxurious condominiums. He referred to his father as an “artist” and a “visionary” in the real estate industry.
Judge Engoron’s Summary Judgment and Ongoing Trial
In late September, Judge Arthur Engoron issued a summary judgment holding Trump, his adult sons, and other co-defendants liable for fraud related to asset valuations. The trial now focuses on determining other specific claims against the organization and deciding on penalties.
Engoron’s Ruling on Valuation Document
During the trial, Judge Engoron ruled against Attorney General James’s request to block the submission of a 2022 valuation document for Trump’s Doral Golf Resort & Spa. Although he referred to the document as “stupid,” he believed blocking it could risk a reversal of the verdict.
Trump’s Mistrial Motion and Allegations Against Judge Engoron
Amidst the trial, Trump is considering filing for a mistrial, claiming that Judge Engoron is a biased judge who has treated him unfairly. Trump has violated a gag order imposed by Engoron twice, resulting in fines of $15,000.
Future Testimonies and Criminal Indictments
Trump Jr. has already been questioned by James’s prosecutors, and the defense team plans to call Eric Trump and the former president to testify. Additionally, Trump faces four separate criminal indictments, including allegations of election subversion and retaining classified documents.
Trump Jr.’s Reminder of the Political Campaign
Before leaving the stand, Trump Jr. highlighted that his father is simultaneously running a political campaign while facing a demanding legal schedule. He acknowledged that the future of the Trump business empire may depend on the outcome of the upcoming election.
Overall, the trial continues to captivate with its high-stakes drama and the potential implications for both the Trump family and the political landscape.

He highlighted the success of Trump Tower as an example of his father’s foresight and creativity, noting that it has become an iconic symbol of luxury living.
In his testimony, Trump Jr. defended his father’s business practices, arguing that the allegations made by Attorney General Letitia James are unfounded. He stated that, contrary to the accusations, his father never inflated asset values to secure loans or insurance premiums. Instead, he explained that Trump’s success in the real estate market can be attributed to his strategic decision-making, negotiating skills, and ability to capitalize on opportunities.
Furthermore, Trump Jr. praised his father’s hands-on approach to business, pointing out that he personally oversees every project and is involved in every aspect of the decision-making process.

The trial has attracted significant media attention, with both sides presenting their arguments and evidence in a highly publicized manner. Trump Jr.’s testimony brought an emotional and personal touch to the proceedings, as he passionately defended his father’s reputation and real estate expertise.
As the trial continues, it remains to be seen how the jury will respond to the arguments and evidence presented by both sides. The outcome of this trial could have significant implications not only for the Trump Organization but also for the broader real estate industry.
In the meantime, Trump Jr.’s testimony has shed light on the Trump family’s perspective on the allegations facing them. While the trial is focused on financial fraud, the defense’s strategic decision to highlight the “sexiness” of real estate and Donald Trump’s vision in this industry serve as a reminder of his influence and impact. Regardless of the trial’s outcome, it is evident that the Trump family’s legacy in real estate will continue to be a topic of discussion and debate for years to come.
