Eric Trump Rails Against Massive $360 Million Judgment: ‘My Father Built the Skyline of New York City – And This Is the Thanks He Gets?!’

 

Eric Trump slammed New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron, hours after the latter issued a $363.9 million judgment.

After finding Donald Trump and the Trump Organization liable for fraud last year in his civil trial in New York, Engoron ruled on Friday that the former president must pay $354 million for overstating the value of his assets to obtain more favorable terms with banks and insurers.

Engoron also ordered Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump – who are executives at the company – to pay $4 million each, and ex-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg to pay $1 million. The Trumps denied they inflated their assets and argued that since no institutions endured financial harm, fraud was not committed.

Eric Trump appeared on Friday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle, where he went on a lengthy diatribe and noted that James became attorney general after promising to go after his father.

“She campaigned on that, she fundraised on that. We didn’t have a chance, Jeanine,” he told guest host Jeanine Pirro. “We just didn’t have a chance in New York because it’s a rigged system. And you could not have a better real estate company than ours. You could not have a more professional real estate company than ours.”

The younger Trump went on to say that people and businesses are fleeing New York because it is “a lost state.” He then claimed his father is responsible for New York City’s tall buildings.

“You have a company like ours that have paid over $300 million in taxes to a city,” he said. “My father built the skyline of New York City – and this is the thanks he gets?! For doing absolutely nothing wrong? Not a dollar financial loss. The exact opposite. Hundreds of millions of dollars in financial gain.”

Trump said they will appeal the ruling and concluded, “I promise you, we’re gonna get it overturned.”
