He also admitted to signing off on the accuracy of his father’s financial statements for securing loans.

Eric argued his reliance on professionals for accuracy and denied knowledge of fraudulent estimates.
“I relied on one of the biggest accounting firms in the country and I relied on a great legal team, and when they gave me comfort that the statement was perfect, I was more than happy to execute it.”
“I pick my phone up at five in the morning and I put it down at midnight. I have thousands of calls,” he annoyedly answered when questioned on his inability to recall details of conversations.
The trial focuses on penalties, with the New York Attorney General seeking up to $250 million and a ban on the Trumps owning companies in the state.
Trump denies wrongdoing and is currently facing multiple legal battles.
