Eric Trump departs from the first day of testifying at former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial on November 02, 2023 in New York City. Trump's children, Donald Jr., Eric and daughter Ivanka, are all expected to testify at their father's trial in the coming days.
David Dee Delgado/Getty ImagesThe two older sons of former President Donald Trump spent Thursday in a New York courtroom testifying in the civil fraud case against them and their father.
The trial accuses the two brothers, as well as their father, of knowingly committing fraud by submitting statements of financial condition that inflated the value of their properties and other assets.
During testimony, Eric and Donald Jr. repeatedly distanced themselves from The Trump Organization's fraudulent financial statements and declarations to banks.
NPR's Andrea Bernstein and Ximena Bustillo report on the trial and what's at stake for The Trump Organization.
