A Correspondence to President Donald Trump and the New York Judge” by Eric Trump and Beneath James’s Letter to the State Attorney

Trump Jr. stated that he only signed his name to the bank certifications and financial statements because he was having discussions with people from the accounting and legal departments.

Ms. James wrote a letter to the New York judge saying that the former president was trying to shield his documents from the review.

The civil lawsuit can take advantage of Trump’s refusal to answer questions. He didn’t answer them because of an ongoing criminal investigation of the conduct carried out by the Manhattan District Attorney. Eric Trump and Allen Weisselberg, a long-time chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, also declined to answer most questions.

An assistant state attorney asked Trump questions ranging from whether he was currently the president of the Trump Organization, to whether he had an agreement with his then-chief financial officer to prepare years of financial statements that were intentionally overvalued. He was asked if he approved the valuation methods. Trump answered the questions the same way.

Mr. Trump said that Ms. James was trying to hurt him, his businesses and his supporters by trying to take his trust and private estate plan.

Trump Jr. said he began working at the Trump Organization in 2001 after taking a gap year following his graduation from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School with a bachelor’s degree in economics. He started in a low-level position on construction sites, expanded to negotiate numerous high-profile building projects, and in 2017 was named one of the three trustees overseeing the company when his father became president. He said he works in Florida.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the Mazars USA Client of the Donald Trump Organization: Comment on Trump’s Engagement Letter to the Trump Organization

He said his knowledge of US accounting rules, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, is limited to what he learned from an “Accounting 101” college course.

“Well, I’m not an accountant, but that they are generally accepted,” he said when asked what he knew about GAAP. I think I would come up with some creative stuff that would kill time, but I am not going to educate ourselves in that regard.

According to Donald Trump Jr., Mazars USA, which used to be a client of the Trump Organization, included disclaimer language in its engagement letter to protect itself against the possibility of future liability. In the engagement letter, Mazars said the client, Trump, was responsible for the accuracy of the information in the financial statements.

“It’s sort of seems like an odd thing all of a sudden after 30 years of doing each and every tax return probably to do that,” Trump Jr. testified. “The semantics of the language in the letter, I can’t tell if that was always the language from the engagement letters from 2011 and on, or did it become sort of a, let’s call it, you know, cover-your-ass language later on after 30 years of doing a tax return.”

“Those people would have more intimate understanding of the specifics of those things. If it was more accounting, the document that was brought to me was probably from accounting. If it was more legal, it would be from legal. Is it okay for us to sign this document? Do you believe it to be honest and accurate?’ If they were agreeable with it, I would sign it, because they had more knowledge than I would ever have.

When asked about the reference in the spreadsheet to 40 Wall Street, Trump Jr. switched to dealmaker mode, as he had leased the building where the deposition took place.

I leased the lovely building on your right shoulder. I would be foolish to not point it out, the lovely real estate right there. He said that he gets to stare all day.

Trump Jr. said that they were not that down. So, I’ve been looking at about 30,000 square foot of a floor plate that isn’t in an office building?

The Donald J. Trump Trust in Florida has not been closed by a single state court since February 21st: Comment on a lawsuit against the Donald J Trump Organization

A judge in Florida rejected a request from James to prevent him from obtaining records from the Donald J Trump Trust, the company he held prior to becoming president.

Gerald Greenberg is a partner of Gelber, Schuchter and Greenberg, a Florida law firm. I am not aware of the authority that a state court in Florida has over a law enforcement investigation being conducted in New York.

Unable to persuade the Florida lawyers to stand down Wednesday, the Trump Organization’s general counsel, Alan Garten, then took aim at Mr. Epshteyn, blaming him in an email to Mr. Epshteyn and other lawyers for the filing of the suit, said the people with knowledge of the discussion. Frustrations with Mr. Epshteyn among some of Mr. Trump’s other aides and representatives have been brewing for months and boiled over with the new legal action.

The judge wrote that the Court would not impose sanctions, which the court believes are unnecessary, since it made its point.

The Trumps had argued that some of the conduct they were accused of was past the statute of limitations.
