Donald Trump Jr. took the stand Monday morning in Manhattan to refute New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ claims that their Trump Organization fraudulently inflated the value of its properties in financial statements.
So far, Don Jr.’s testimony. was filled with gushing about the former president — including saying his father was “very good” at finding “sexiness in real estate projects.”
Don Jr., 45, was the defense’s first witness after AG James rested his case last Wednesday with testimony from his sister Ivanka Trump.

Judge Arthur Engoron on the bench Monday, his clerk with him, preceded Don Jr.’s testimony. Trump’s eldest son — a defendant in the case along with his father’s former president, younger brother Eric and Org Trump — has been called as the defense’s first witness.

He was previously called to testify by the attorney general, who questioned him for less than four hours about his role as executive vice president for the Trump Organization.
In his testimony earlier this month, Trump Jr. said he never worked on the annual financial statements central to James’ argument and instead relied on the company’s longtime finance chief and outside accounts to confirm their accuracy.
