Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, testified for the second day in a civil fraud lawsuit against the Trump Organization. The trial alleges that the Trump family misled investors in a business venture by inflating the value of certain properties. During his testimony, Eric claimed that he was not aware of his father's financial statements but admitted that there were emails indicating his involvement. Eric also testified that he relied on the Trump Organization's accountants for the accuracy of the financial statements.

The trial has garnered significant media attention, with late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel even roasting Eric Trump's courtroom appearance. The testimony from Eric and his older brother Donald Trump Jr. has been closely scrutinized, with some questioning their level of involvement and knowledge of the alleged fraud. Critics argue that the Trump sons cannot claim ignorance, as emails presented in court indicate their involvement.

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former attorney and fixer, weighed in on the trial, stating that Eric and Donald Jr. should be held accountable if they are found to have knowingly misled investors. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel corrected some of Eric's testimony on his show, pointing out inconsistencies and contradictions.

The trial also revealed that Bally's, a gambling company, paid $60 million to take over a Trump-owned golf course in New York City. This information came to light during the testimony of Bally's CEO George Papanier, who discussed the details of the deal.

As the trial continues, the focus remains on the potential liability of the Trump family and whether they knowingly deceived investors. The outcome of the trial could have significant implications for the Trump Organization and its reputation.
