As many expected, former US President Donald Trump’s NYC fraud trial has been the hot-button issue that every legal expert, body language expert, and lawyer has been talking about. All the details are fair game to pick apart, especially when it comes to his children Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump’s testimonies.
Specifically, one legal expert claims that Donald Jr may end up losing the most credibility out of the three of them. The former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, Barbara McQuade, told MSNBC via OK that Donald Jr’s strategy may end up haunting him.
“It’s going to be very difficult for Donald Trump Jr. to really have a lot of credibility here,” McQuade said. “His whole strategy, when he testified previously, was to distance himself from knowledge about these things. That it was all about the accountants, I don’t really pay much attention to this, sure, maybe I signed off on these things. But remember, he gave that press conference at the end of his testimony where he said ‘I relied on accountants to do, wait for it, accounting.’”
She added, “It’s going to be difficult for him, I think, to now say anything with any authority, other than to repeat what he’s already said.”
Basically, McQuade claims that Donald Jr may have to repeat his points numerous times, and that his credibility may be in question because of the way he’s handled the trial.
However, Donald Jr hasn’t been the only one to be put under the microscope. For instance, legal experts claim Eric’s actions in the courtroom won’t do anything to benefit the family, and rather make him come off poor.
And as for Ivanka, a former aide claimed her demeanor on the stand is a stark contrast to who she was when she worked in the White House with her.
So it seems while all of Donald and Ivana Trump’s children may be under scrutiny for their actions when on the stand, this legal expert thinks the Liberal Privilege author will get the most heat from it all.
